Summary of the contracting process

WRAP sought specialist sustainable procurement consultancy to support its Welsh Government-funded and Defra-funded programmes and other initiatives across Wales, England and the wider UK. The work covers sustainable procurement strategy and policy; circular economy and resource efficiency; low-carbon purchasing and Scope 3 emissions; supplier and market engagement; procurement documents; training and capability building; contract management and performance measurement; programme evaluation and impact reporting; and specialist category advice. The procurement consultancy also involves environmental consultancy and management. WRAP is the buying organisation. The intended arrangement was a multi-supplier framework, with up to five providers supporting requirements across these programmes and initiatives.

The process reached award on 21 September 2026, when WRAP selected Miller Research (UK) Ltd, Eunomia Research and Consulting Ltd, WSP UK Limited, SLR Consulting Limited, and Gardiner & Theobald LLP for the framework. The recorded award value is £500,000 gross. The contract period was due to run from 2 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with a possible extension under the open framework to 30 September 2032. The procurement used an open competitive flexible procedure, with a selection questionnaire followed by written proposals and pricing. Call-offs were intended to be made by direct award for requirements below £30,000 gross or by mini-competition. Evaluation weighted scenario and price at 30% each, delivery approach and methodology at 20%, relevant experience at 10%, and social value at 10%. WRAP later abandoned the tender and award process on 20 October 2026 and planned to retender.

This requirement shows demand from WRAP for multidisciplinary advisers who can turn sustainability objectives into practical procurement strategies, specifications and supplier engagement, while also addressing circularity, resource efficiency and carbon emissions. A credible competitor would need demonstrable relevant experience, a clear delivery method with appropriate staff time and resources, and the ability to respond convincingly to applied scenarios. Expertise in contract management, performance measurement, programme evaluation and impact reporting would also be relevant, alongside training and category-specific advice. The original framework was designed for several suppliers and combined direct call-offs for smaller requirements with mini-competitions for other work, so firms need to be able to support both routes. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate; the selected group included both specialist research consultancies and larger engineering, environmental and project-management firms.
