Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport commissioned analysis services for heavy goods vehicle emissions data. The requirement covers analysis of the European Economic Area HGV CO₂ monitoring dataset, production of aggregated analytical outputs, and support to help the Department ingest and understand that dataset. The work concerns VECTO data, the vehicle emissions monitoring system used for heavy goods vehicles. It is a central government requirement managed by the Department for Transport. The service is suited to organisations providing emissions data analysis, transport-sector analytics, environmental assessment, data ingestion support and interpretation of complex regulatory datasets. The requirement combines technical analysis with practical support for using and understanding the resulting data within the Department.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. It was evaluated and progressed as a single lot for analysis services. Ricardo-AEA Ltd was selected as the supplier, with an active award. The contract was signed on 26 May 2026 and runs from 28 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £14,000 excluding VAT, or £16,800 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold and remains active. A contract change proposed adding WSP and removing Ricardo-AEA Ltd as supplier for a period from 31 July to 31 August 2026; the published award identifies Ricardo-AEA Ltd as the awarded supplier.

This procurement shows demand from the Department for Transport for specialist HGV emissions-data analysis and implementation support. A credible future supplier would need to analyse large, structured environmental or vehicle-monitoring datasets, produce reliable aggregated outputs and explain the results to policy or operational teams. Experience with VECTO, HGV emissions, European monitoring data or comparable transport and environmental datasets would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to support data ingestion, check data quality, interpret technical datasets and translate findings into usable analysis. The direct-award route and the involvement of large specialist consultancies indicate that proven technical capability, relevant sector experience and the capacity to deliver quickly would be important when this requirement is next considered.
