UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority commissioned specialist consultancy and training services for its Local Net Zero Accelerator. The work covers adapting the existing 120-hour LNZA net zero finance training programme so it can be made more widely available and accessible to local authorities and other audiences. The requirement is therefore focused on net zero finance expertise, training design and delivery, and improving access to structured professional learning. It is classified as business and management consultancy and related services. The buying organisation is Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, a sub-central public authority based in Huntingdon. The awarded services are intended for delivery across the United Kingdom, with local authorities and other relevant audiences as the users of the training programme.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. The tender was marked complete and one supplier was selected for the single lot. Mineral Springs Inc. received the award, which is active. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 25 September 2026. Its gross value is £59,998. The award concerns the full training-module requirement, including the adaptation and wider accessibility of the net zero finance programme. The process was evaluated through a direct, non-competitive route rather than an open tender. The contract is active and the tender is complete, so this outcome describes an awarded requirement rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement indicates demand from the Combined Authority for suppliers able to combine practical net zero finance knowledge with the design, adaptation and delivery of substantial training programmes. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to understand how local authorities approach net zero finance and translate that expertise into clear, accessible learning for public-sector audiences and other users. Relevant capability includes reviewing an established training programme, improving its accessibility and reach, and presenting specialist material in a form suitable for wider adoption. Experience in business or management consultancy, public-sector training, local government engagement and net zero finance would position a supplier well. The awarded supplier’s selection also shows that the buyer accepted a specialist service provider for a focused, short-term training assignment.
