UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero commissioned specialist research services to facilitate and fund a UK expert’s participation in reviewing Oman’s Biennial Transparency Report under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The work supports the international review of national climate transparency reporting, with the UK meeting its obligations as a UNFCCC Party. Participation is restricted to UK experts listed on the UNFCCC Roster of Experts. The requirement concerns one review of Oman’s report, rather than general climate consultancy or broad research services. Delivery is international in scope, focused on Oman and the UNFCCC review process, with the buyer based in London. Businesses relevant to this requirement are those able to provide an appropriately qualified UK-based expert with recognised standing in UNFCCC reporting and expert review work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. Holly Zhang was selected as the supplier for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its value is £14,152.06 excluding VAT, or £16,982.47 including VAT. The award covers research services associated with the review of Oman’s Biennial Transparency Report. The procurement used one lot, which is complete, and the award is active. The route indicates that the buyer selected a supplier directly rather than evaluating competing tenders. The contract represents a small, time-limited specialist assignment funded by the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero.

This award identifies a focused market for experts who can review Biennial Transparency Reports within the UNFCCC framework. A credible competitor would need a UK-based expert on the UNFCCC Roster of Experts, with the technical knowledge to assess national transparency reporting and the professional judgement to contribute to an international expert review. Relevant capability is likely to include climate inventory or emissions reporting, UNFCCC reporting requirements, peer review, evidence-based analysis and clear written findings for an international process. Suppliers would also need to manage a discrete assignment for a central government client and work effectively with overseas reporting and review stakeholders. The buyer’s use of a direct, below-threshold route shows that established individual expertise and eligibility for the UNFCCC roster are central to this type of requirement.
