## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has completed the procurement process for services related to the UK Emissions Trading System allowances in 2026. This selective procurement was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement, with EDF Energy awarded the contract valued at £420,000. The procurement falls under the industry category of purchasing CO2 emission credits and is geographically located in the South East of the United Kingdom, with the service delivery set between 27 February 2026 and 31 March 2027.

The awarded contract provides an opportunity for organisations in the environmental and energy sectors to engage in future procurement processes related to emissions management and trading systems. Businesses specialising in environmental services, carbon accounting, and energy solutions are likely suited to compete for similar tenders, supporting growth in these areas through collaboration with government bodies like DEFRA. While this contract does not prioritise SMEs or VCSEs, larger organisations with robust service delivery capabilities may find additional opportunities to leverage governmental partnerships.
