Summary of the contracting process

JNCC Support Co is buying environmental research and data services to further develop and maintain the Global Environmental Impacts of Consumption (GEIC) indicator, also known as the UK Biodiversity Indicator. The work covers annual updates to the indicator’s data, graphs and dashboard; promotion of national and international use; enhanced commodity data for up to four commodities; improvements to metals and minerals footprint data; and better treatment and communication of uncertainty. It also includes work on resource security, social metrics, sector-linked demand data and user-group prioritisation, with outputs produced in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics. The service is delivered across the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as environmental services (CPV 90700000).

This completed procurement was made by direct award to a single supplier, using technical and intellectual-property or exclusive-rights grounds. JNCC Support Co awarded the contract to the University of York on 14 May 2026. The award value is £299,948 gross, including VAT. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and is active from 29 July 2026 to 30 March 2029. Its stated contract value is £293,966 excluding VAT, or £299,948 gross. There was one completed lot. The buyer’s rationale was that the University of York had the relevant methodology for an assignment previously let through further competition, and that only this supplier had the technical capability or exclusive rights needed to complete the work.

This requirement is most relevant to organisations with specialist environmental economics, biodiversity-impact assessment and consumption-footprinting expertise. A credible future competitor would need to develop, maintain and explain complex indicators, datasets, graphs and dashboards, while translating results for national and international users and third-party platforms. Relevant capability includes modelling commodity, metals and minerals footprints; linking environmental impacts to resource security and sector demand; scoping social metrics; analysing uncertainty; and consulting users to prioritise technically feasible improvements. Experience of producing rigorous statistical outputs under the Code of Practice for Statistics would be important. The award rationale also shows that continuity of an established methodology and demonstrable technical capability were central, so suppliers would need comparable intellectual property, specialist knowledge and evidence of delivering closely related work.
