Summary of the contracting process

Satellite Applications Catapult Limited procured a carbon management platform for use in the United Kingdom. The requirement combines database software with specialist climate advisory support. It is intended to help the organisation measure, report and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, supporting sustainability objectives through accurate carbon accounting. The platform includes an extensive database of verified emissions factors and advisory input to help users calculate emissions consistently and identify reduction activity. The procurement is categorised as goods, with the software element classified as a database software package. The buyer is a public undertaking based in Didcot. The selected supplier, Normative Ltd, is a London-based small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in the relevant carbon management field.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. Normative Ltd was selected for the requirement, with the award active. The award was made on 29 June 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 30 June 2026 to 29 June 2029. Its value is £48,000 excluding VAT, or £57,600 including VAT. The published procurement information identifies the database software and climate-support requirement, but does not set out an award weighting or specific evaluation criteria. The process therefore demonstrates a small-scale, limited route for buying a specialist carbon accounting platform and associated advisory support.

This procurement is relevant to suppliers that combine carbon accounting software with credible emissions-factor data and practical climate advisory capability. A credible competitor would need to provide a platform that supports greenhouse-gas measurement, reporting and reduction, rather than a general-purpose database alone. The requirement shows value in verified emissions factors, reliable calculations and advisory support that can translate data into sustainability action. Suppliers should be able to serve a public undertaking and deliver an integrated software-and-support model through a below-threshold limited competition. Normative Ltd’s selection indicates that a specialist small or medium-sized supplier can meet this type of requirement. Experience delivering carbon management platforms, emissions reporting and reduction planning would strengthen a future proposition.
