Summary of the contracting process

The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) sought a senior technical expert to support the UNEP-funded Plastic Reboot programme. The work covers multiple countries and aims to strengthen policy and market-based approaches for reducing plastic pollution and accelerating the transition to a circular economy. The supplier would provide independent technical and policy oversight, quality assurance and strategic advice across programme activities, helping ensure that deliverables are robust, evidence-based and suitable for participating countries and international stakeholders. This is an environmental issues and project management consultancy service, delivered in support of an international circular-economy programme. The buying organisation is based in Banbury, United Kingdom.

The procurement reached tender: WRAP invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. The enquiry deadline was 17 July 2026 at 13:00 and the tender submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 23:45. The contract period was planned for 16 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value was £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT. Evaluation was based on relevant experience and technical capability at 30%, price at 20%, methodology and understanding at 15%, delivery approach and availability at 15%, qualifications and stakeholder engagement at 10%, and social value at 10%. The procurement was cancelled on 20 July 2026 because WRAP planned to revise the request for quotation, deadline, budget and notice before reissuing it.

This opportunity suited a senior consultant or specialist consultancy with strong environmental policy and technical expertise, particularly in plastics, pollution reduction and circular-economy transition. Suppliers needed to demonstrate relevant experience and technical capability, including the ability to provide independent oversight, quality assurance and strategic advice across a complex, multi-country programme. The requirement also favoured organisations able to develop and assess evidence-based deliverables for governments, international stakeholders and programme partners. A credible delivery approach, availability during the contract period, suitable qualifications and effective stakeholder-engagement skills were important. Experience of project management consultancy, policy implementation and market-based approaches would have supported a competitive response, alongside the ability to offer social value.
