Summary of the contracting process

The City of London procured consultancy services to support its Climate Action Strategy, specifically work on interim targets after 2027. The requirement is environmental issues consultancy, covering advice and analysis related to climate action targets. The buying organisation is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, a local public authority. The awarded work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom, for activity connected with the City of London’s climate strategy. This is a professional services requirement rather than the supply of goods or construction works, and would suit organisations providing environmental, climate or sustainability consultancy to public-sector clients.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed. Ove Arup & Partners Ltd was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 24 June 2026. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £39,420 excluding VAT, or £47,304 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, with participation restricted to the competition conducted by the City of London. The requirement was evaluated as a services contract for environmental issues consultancy supporting the buyer’s post-2027 climate action strategy interim targets.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the City of London for specialist environmental consultancy focused on translating a climate action strategy into interim targets. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable capability in climate strategy, emissions or environmental analysis, target-setting and the preparation of practical advice for a public authority. The work is consultancy-led and short-term, so suppliers would need to assemble experienced specialists who can assess existing strategy, develop or refine measurable interim targets, and communicate recommendations clearly to public-sector decision-makers. The selected supplier was a large professional services firm, indicating that scale, multidisciplinary expertise and the capacity to deliver a focused assignment quickly may be relevant when this buyer next purchases comparable support.
