## Summary

The Department of Energy and Climate Change has completed a procurement process titled "Support for UK GHG Inventory model QA processes audit". This initiative was aimed at enhancing the UK's annual GHG Inventory report in compliance with the Monitoring Mechanism Regulation. The contract was awarded to Ricardo Environment and Energy, valued at £18,756.54. The procurement process primarily falls under the research and development services category and was conducted through a tender that officially ended on 16 January 2015. The contract period spanned from 22 January 2015 to 2 March 2015, covering delivery addresses in the United Kingdom and various territories.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consulting and auditing services, particularly those with expertise in greenhouse gas inventories and compliance with international regulations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-placed to compete for similar contracts in the future as the UK continues to prioritise sustainability and climate change initiatives.

## Notice

The UK is required to submit its GHG Inventory on an annual basis to the EU. Previously this process was governed by the Monitoring Mechanism Decision. For the 2015 submission and beyond this has been replaced by the Monitoring Mechanism Regulation. This contract was to fund Ricardo-AEA to make the necessary changes to the Inventory and its reporting, in response to the MMR.
