Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales procured climate literacy training services for its organisation. The requirement is environmental training focused on building understanding of climate issues and climate-related practice. Natural Resources Wales is the buying organisation and the work is associated with delivery in Wales. The procurement was structured as a single requirement covering the training service. The selected provider is a partnership between Cynnal Cymru Sustain Wales and Manchester Metropolitan University, combining a Welsh sustainability organisation with a university partner. This makes the opportunity relevant to providers of climate education, environmental training, sustainability learning and related organisational development services, particularly those able to work with public-sector teams in Wales.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded without competition using a below-threshold direct award. Cynnal Cymru Sustain Wales and Manchester Metropolitan University were selected as the supplier partnership. The award covers environmental training services under one lot. The contract was signed on 28 June 2026 and runs from 30 June 2026 to 20 March 2027. Its value is £43,117.50 excluding VAT, or £51,741 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement reference is C/2627/0005(N). The award route indicates that Natural Resources Wales bought the service directly rather than evaluating competing bids for this requirement.

This completed contract is a clear signal of Natural Resources Wales’s demand for structured climate literacy training. A credible future competitor would need to design and deliver environmental learning that is practical for an organisational audience, rather than offering general environmental consultancy alone. Relevant capability includes subject expertise in climate change and sustainability, experience creating or delivering training programmes, and the ability to translate technical issues into accessible learning. The selected partnership also shows the value of combining applied sustainability delivery with academic knowledge. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate credible trainers, sound educational content, partnership or collaboration skills, and capacity to deliver a defined public-sector training programme in Wales.
