UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned research and development services to improve the quality of stack-emissions monitoring for new sources. The work is intended to generate evidence for robust monitoring methods, improve consistency across sectors and inform future technical guidance and standards. The requirement is focused on emissions measurement and monitoring methodology rather than general environmental consultancy. The Environment Agency is the buyer. The data identifies no delivery location, so the work’s place of delivery cannot be established from the published scope.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. NPL Management Limited was selected and signed the contract on 8 October 2026. The contract runs from 19 October 2026 to 8 March 2027 and is valued at £89,618 excluding VAT (£107,541.60 including VAT). It was a below-threshold award under a framework, using a selective procedure and a non-competitive direct award. The requirement was arranged as one lot. The published procurement description explains the project’s evidence and guidance objectives, but the available details do not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award indicates demand from the Environment Agency for specialist research into stack-emissions monitoring, particularly for new sources. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar work should be able to develop and assess robust monitoring methodologies, support consistent application across different industrial sectors, and produce evidence that can inform technical guidance and standards. Credible capability is likely to combine expertise in emissions measurement with applied research and the ability to translate findings into practical monitoring recommendations. The awarded supplier is a large organisation, and the work was placed through a framework rather than an open competition, so relevant framework access and the capacity to deliver a focused technical research project are commercially important. The procurement does not state specific accreditations or minimum experience requirements.
