## Summary

The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) has initiated a procurement process under the title "Materials System Transformation Technical & Consultancy Support Framework", focusing on the environmental services industry within the United Kingdom. The procurement, facilitated through an open and competitive flexible procedure, has progressed to the award stage as of 3rd October 2025, with contracts having been signed starting 19th September 2025 and running through to 31st August 2027. This framework is part of WRAP's ongoing efforts to design out waste and promote sustainability across various sectors, particularly textiles and plastics. The process will operate as a framework agreement with call-offs facilitated by mini-competitions or direct awards. The initiative evidently prioritises long-term sustainability and innovation, aligning with broader climate goals and industry reform, with expected cycle renewals up to 2033.

This tender framework presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, technical support, and sustainable practices. Firms that can offer innovative solutions in waste management, sustainability consulting, or supply chain management, and especially those able to participate in circular economy initiatives, will find this a suitable avenue for collaborative growth. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as reflected in the procurement's suitability and selection criteria which recognise the role of smaller firms in achieving WRAP's ambitious environmental targets. The framework provides a structured platform for firms to contribute to impactful environmental projects, which could result in enhanced reputation and business expansion within the sector and beyond.

## Notice

WRAP's Materials Systems Transformation programme seeks to design out waste during production and consumption and retain its value and mitigate the damage being inflicted on our planet. We take a holistic approach to protect and restore our natural world: gathering 3 and considering the evidence, collaborating with all partners in the system and proposing circular solutions that work across the supply chain. This Framework will support WRAP's ongoing efforts in technical and policy support, stakeholder engagement, and citizen-facing campaigns across multiple regions by aiming to appoint suppliers who can help WRAP reach our target outcomes for both Transforming Textiles & Prevent Problem Plastics & Packaging. The Framework has been divided into 2 Lots. Organisations can apply for one or both Lots should they wish. Tailored applications should be submitted for each Lot and will be evaluated separately. Work awarded under the Framework will be on a call-off basis and awarded either through a mini-competition or direct award.

### Lot Information

Transform Textiles

WRAP's global ambition is to halt the increase in the carbon and water footprint of the textiles industry and set it on a trajectory to net zero by 2050 in line with the Paris Agreement commitments. Clothing is thought to be currently responsible for around 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve this, the current linear system of 'take, make and dispose' needs to be transformed into a sustainable and circular textiles system through the application of just transition principles. This will require a decoupling of virgin resource use from growth and decarbonisation of the value chain. WRAP will focus on the following product categories for high impact, but not limited to these areas: Clothing: Every day clothing including fashion is the top priority, with workwear and footwear also being in scope. o Workwear is identified as an area where there are key opportunities for circularity. Household textiles: This includes 'foldable household textiles such as bed linen.' Furniture is a lower priority but not out of scope. WRAP will focus its actions on: * The design, production and manufacture, use and purchase of new textiles to be designed for longevity, durability, recyclability, repair, rental, remanufacture and disassembly amongst others. * Adoption of circular business models to promote reuse of textiles and retain textiles at their highest value for as long as possible. * Facilitation of closed loop recycling systems and open loop recycling systems to be in place. * Citizen behaviour change * Adoption of innovation to drive change. Further impact analysis will be undertaken by WRAP to identify the hotspots and biggest opportunities for carbon reduction, and in which geographies to operate.

Renewal: The Framework Agreement will operate for a maximum of 8 years. A new procurement exercise will be run prior to each 2-year re-opening window to allow new suppliers to apply. Existing suppliers will remain on the Framework for the full duration, subject to performance and continued eligibility. Re-openings will be conducted via a new procurement process under the Open Framework provisions of the UK Procurement Act 2023.

Prevent problem plastics & packaging

WRAP's ambition is for a circular economy for packaging, with a particular emphasis on materials where there are market failures that lead to material losses and increased carbon. This means that we want to change our relationship with packaging - removing it where it is unnecessary, reducing it where possible, reusing it to keep it within the circular economy, and ensuring that as much of it is recycled as possible. We want to see it incorporated into new packaging and products, if incorporating it as recycled content in packaging is not feasible. In doing so, our hypothesis is that this will not only reduce carbon through resource efficiency but also reduce pollution and packaging's impacts on people and the planet. Our targets will vary across nations according to local infrastructure and will evolve to 2030 as the network of Pacts update their scope post 2025. WRAP will focus its efforts on: Plastic packaging in 2025 and packaging more broadly (with a focus on materials where there are particular market issues) thereafter Fast moving consumer goods packaging and items e.g. wet wipes, disposable vapes Plastic packaging to improve circularity (removal, reuse and refill, reduction, including through product reformulation (for example concentrates and shampoo bars), design, collections, end markets) Carbon 'hot spots' e.g. glass 'right weighting' to reduce GHG emissions. Wider environmental 'hot spots' e.g. impact on biodiversity, nature and human health Chemicals of concern
