## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has successfully completed a procurement process for the project titled "RTFO Technical Consultancy Support," which falls under the category of transport systems consultancy services. This procurement involved a selective method and was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £300,000, commenced on 13th August 2021 and will conclude on 12th August 2023. The tender period officially ended on 21st May 2021, and the project has been designed to assist in compliance with the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) Order, focusing on sustainability requirements in a complex regulatory environment.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in technical consultancy services related to renewable fuels and greenhouse gas reporting regulations. Companies that can provide specialist guidance in navigating the intricacies of sustainability legislation are well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. Engaging in such consultancy work not only allows businesses to contribute to climate goals but also enhances their credibility and expands their portfolio of services within the growing green economy.

## Notice

The 2007 RTFO Order obligates fuel suppliers to provide a specified volume of renewable fuel and has a value of approximately PS1.5 billion per annum. It is one of the Government's main policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport and meeting UK Carbon Budget targets. Specialist technical consultancy is needed to support the RTFO Unit in delivering the sustainability requirements of the RTFO Order and the related Motor Fuel Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reporting regulations. This is a complex regulatory environment, particularly due to the sustainability issues associated with certain types of renewable fuels, and support is needed to help translate the legislative requirements and technical rules on calculating GHG emissions into clear guidance for fuel suppliers.
