## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, based in High Wycombe, England, undertook a procurement process titled "RAF UK Aviation Emissions Reporting Carbon Credits Purchase 2025," which falls under the industry category of CO2 emission credits. This procurement relates to the Royal Air Force's requirement to purchase UK carbon credits as part of their emissions reporting for flights from the UK terminating in the EU. The procurement was completed using a call-off from the Crown Commercial Framework RM6251, under the selective method. The contract was awarded on 13 March 2026, and the contract period started on 16 March 2026, extending until 30 April 2026, with a total contract value of £351,720. The procurement and contract activities took place in the South East of the United Kingdom.

The procurement of carbon credits presents opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services and commodities trading to engage with government contracts. Although the procurement process was selective, utilising the established Crown Commercial Framework suggests that large organisations with prior government engagement may find this domain advantageous for partnership development. Companies experienced in emissions trading schemes and those capable of handling substantial contracts may benefit from similar opportunities, enhancing their portfolio and contributing towards sustainability initiatives within the public sector.
