UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero procured specialist research and review services to facilitate and fund five UK experts taking part in in-country reviews of Biennial Transparency Reports for Algeria, Germany, Cyprus and Zambia under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The work supports the UK’s participation in the international review process for national climate reporting inventories. Delivery covers activity in the four named countries and involves coordinating the participation of UK-based experts. All participating UK experts must be members of the UNFCCC Roster of Experts. The requirement is relevant to organisations providing climate, emissions inventory, environmental research or international reporting review services.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. The Department used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Aether Limited was awarded the contract on 18 August 2026. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and runs from 24 August to 18 November 2026. Its value is £95,308 excluding VAT, or £114,369.60 including VAT. The award covers one requirement for the participation of five UK experts in reviews relating to Algeria, Germany, Cyprus and Zambia. The published procurement information identifies research services as the classification. No competitive evaluation criteria are stated; the route was a non-competitive direct award.

This award demonstrates demand for a specialist provider able to organise and fund UK experts for international climate-reporting reviews. A credible competitor would need access to experts who are already on the UNFCCC Roster of Experts, together with the ability to coordinate five participants across reviews in Algeria, Germany, Cyprus and Zambia. Relevant capability includes climate and emissions inventory knowledge, research and analytical work, understanding of Biennial Transparency Reports, and experience supporting expert participation in international review programmes. The work also requires practical coordination across multiple countries and communication with government and international stakeholders. Smaller specialist consultancies may be well placed where they combine roster access with strong delivery management.
