Summary of the contracting process

Angus Council has successfully completed the award stage of its procurement process titled "Balance Feb 2026," aimed at measuring carbon emissions, including embodied carbon, using advanced technology. This initiative falls under the industry category of general public services and aligns with the council's efforts to address climate change and development impacts. The contracting authority, located in Forfar, UKM71, is a regional or local authority, and the procurement was executed through a limited award procedure without a prior call for competition, due to technical reasons. Notably, the procurement method favoured Anderson Bell Christie as the supplier, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), demonstrating the completion of their long-standing partnership since 2023. The contract valued at £49,800 was signed on 13th February 2026.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in sustainable technologies and environmental assessments, particularly those with innovative solutions in measuring carbon emissions. Companies equipped with products that can fulfil the technical requisites for detailed carbon analysis could find a niche market within public sector contracts. Furthermore, SMEs within this industry are encouraged to engage in similar collaborative efforts with local authorities, as exemplified by Anderson Bell Christie's successful partnership, to leverage their expertise in contributing to public service improvements and strategic growth initiatives. Such collaborations can bolster a company's profile as a key player in the sustainable development space, enhancing their market competitiveness and opening avenues for further government contracts.
