## Summary

The procurement process titled "Off Road Machinery Decarbonisation Research" has been awarded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). This award followed a selective call-off from the ENZPS Framework, Lot 7 and focuses on services within the research and development industry category, including consultancy. The award, valued at £365,000, is specifically geared towards a project aiming to inform policy framework development for the decarbonisation of industrial off-road machinery, a crucial sector contributing significantly to emissions. Jacobs U.K. Limited emerged as the successful supplier, with the contract active from 11th December 2025 through to 31st March 2026. Though centred on the UK, the project's reach extends to various global locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and Europe.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in consultancy, research, and development, particularly those focusing on environmental and sustainability sectors. The initiative to reduce emissions and align with Net Zero commitments can be a catalyst for organisations specialising in decarbonisation strategies, industrial technology advancements, and policy consulting to expand their influence. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with experience in similar industrial sectors are well-suited to leverage such projects to drive growth, enhance their portfolios, and strengthen market presence. DESNZ's selection of Jacobs U.K. Limited reflects a preference for established players but also signals potential future opportunities for emerging businesses within this framework.
