UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority commissioned specialist consultancy on place-based net zero finance. The requirement was to design and deliver a focused upskilling and capacity-building programme for Net Zero Hubs through the Finance Support Service. The work is exclusively a four-part, webinar-based “Lunch & Learn” programme intended to strengthen the financial capability needed to deliver local net zero projects. It falls within financial and insurance services. Delivery is for the Combined Authority’s Net Zero Hubs and local net zero project activity across the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough area. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Huntingdon. The requirement covers both programme development and delivery, rather than general financial advice or a wider net zero consultancy service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bankers without Boundaries. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one lot. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 30 June to 22 August 2026, with a maximum possible extension to 21 October 2026. It has an optional renewal provision. The awarded contract value is £35,998.80 gross, and the procurement was below threshold. Bankers without Boundaries is recorded as the active supplier. The published outcome identifies services as the procurement category. No competitive evaluation basis or bid submission process is recorded for this direct award.

This procurement shows demand from the Combined Authority for specialist advisers who understand how place-based net zero projects are financed and how to improve the financial capability of delivery teams. Relevant competitors would need credible expertise in net zero finance, public-sector or local-project funding, and the practical development of structured learning for Net Zero Hubs. The requirement favours a provider able to turn specialist financial knowledge into a concise, accessible webinar programme, while also delivering the sessions effectively. Experience supporting local authorities, regional net zero programmes, finance teams or project sponsors would strengthen credibility. Organisations offering only generic financial advice, unrelated climate consultancy or standard training are less closely aligned with this requirement.
