## Summary

The recent procurement process undertaken by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) focused on a study regarding the air quality impact of new and emerging low-carbon technologies, titled "RDE757 Study on Air Quality Impact of New and Emerging Low Carbon Technologies". The classification lies within the research and development consultancy services industry category. Although the locations related to the procurement include the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom, the contracting is primarily based out of London, UK. This procurement has reached the award stage, as contracts were awarded on 6th March 2025, following a call-off from a framework agreement with the supplier WSP UK Ltd, known for their expertise in environmental consultancy. The contract commenced on 25th February 2025 and is set to conclude on 16th June 2025, with a total contract value of £10,067.20.

This procurement creates significant opportunities for businesses with a strong background in environmental research and consulting, especially those experienced in low-carbon technology studies. While the process specifically utilised a selective procurement method through a framework agreement call-off, indicating that it may not have been suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, it highlights DEFRA's commitment to partnering with specialised suppliers such as WSP UK Ltd. Businesses interested in future opportunities within this domain should focus on establishing expertise in innovative emissions analysis and forging alliances within existing procurement frameworks to enhance competitive advantage and facilitate growth.

## Notice

Research into emissions from emerging technologies is necessary to enable a sufficient response to the UK's NZ policy ambitions, as well as for more accurate forecasting of future emissions. Defra commissioned in 2023 WSP to conduct a study regarding the impact of new and emerging low-carbon technologies on air quality. Contract awarded by DEFRA.
