Summary of the contracting process

Forth Green Freeport (Operating) Limited is procuring specialist consultancy services for its 2027 decarbonisation reporting and future reporting framework. The appointed consultant will prepare Forth Green Freeport’s 2027 greenhouse-gas emissions report for submission to the Scottish Government, and create a robust, transparent and repeatable methodology for future annual reports to be completed internally. The work includes associated tools, templates and guidance, supporting the organisation’s Decarbonisation Plan and the carbon-management process aligned with PAS 2080:2023 for buildings and infrastructure. The framework must accommodate different levels of data maturity across existing landowners, seed-funded projects and future investors, and provide a scalable, future-proofed approach. The delivery location is the United Kingdom.

The procurement reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission required. It is a single-lot services contract. Bids were due by 14 August 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening at the same time. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 September 2026 to 29 January 2027, and bids must remain valid until 29 January 2027. Tenderers may submit alternative priced approaches within or around the budget range, covering different levels of scope or intensity, including stakeholder engagement, knowledge transfer and staff training. Electronic catalogues are required, variants are allowed, and submissions must be in English. Staff names and qualifications must be provided.

This opportunity suits environmental, carbon-management and sustainability consultancies experienced in greenhouse-gas emissions reporting, decarbonisation planning and developing practical reporting systems. Strong candidates will be able to interpret and apply PAS 2080:2023 principles, work with organisations and stakeholders whose data maturity varies, and turn complex reporting requirements into repeatable internal processes. Relevant capability includes designing methodologies, data tools, templates and guidance, together with transferring knowledge and training client staff. The requirement calls for named delivery staff and their professional qualifications, so bidders should have an established team with credible technical expertise. The appointed supplier must pay the Real Living Wage and hold and maintain Cyber Essentials or an equivalent certification, such as IASME Cyber Assurance, throughout the contract.
