The objective is to support farm transitions to sustainable financial and environmental practices, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund for 2025-2026. The project focuses on the identification and reduction of key emission areas within regional farms, including livestock, soils, and machinery, in line with the local growth plan and carbon reduction strategies. The procurement process concluded with the award of a contract to THE ANDERSONS CENTRE LLP, commencing on 6th August 2025 and concluding on 31st March 2026, with a contract value grossing £80,000. The procurement method was open competition, applicable below the threshold, and the contract pertains to services in the region of UKE2, United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development consultancy services, particularly those focusing on carbon audits in agriculture. Companies dedicated to developing sustainable farming solutions can benefit from engaging with needs outlined in the Farm Carbon Audits initiative. SMEs with expertise in assessing and advising on agricultural emissions management can leverage their skills to contribute to the region's commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance farm productivity. The procurement methodology being open competition presents a conducive environment for innovative and quality-driven consultancy firms to engage with public authorities and potentially expand their market presence in the sustainability sector.

## Notice

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority (YNYCA) has been allocated with UK Shared Prosperity Funds (UKSPF) for 2025-2026. YNYCA, with advice from the Grow Yorkshire Partnership (GYP), aims to undertake a programme which can support the transition of farms to financial and environmental sustainability. The York and North Yorkshire Local Growth Plan highlights that food and farming innovation is a key sector within the region and the Route-map to Carbon Negative shows that there is a need for the agricultural sector to reduce emissions. Through the route-map, it has been identified that the key areas of emissions for agriculture in the region are livestock, soils and machinery. Previously, YNYCA through UKSPF has enabled farms to consider specific opportunities and emissions with the Farm Sustainability Programme providing farms with either; energy audits, renewable feasibility studies, soil carbon testing and biodiversity net gain assessments. These have enabled farms to consider certain areas where improvements can be made to achieve production efficiencies, lower overhead costs and make carbon savings. Understanding whole-farm carbon emissions is crucial to enabling both increased productivity but also reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There is a need for a whole farm approach to assessing key sources of emissions, to enable farms to target reduction strategies to those areas of the farm with the biggest challenges. Energy is often a limited or small source of emissions on farms, compared to feedstock, fertilizers and livestock. Farming practices and the interaction between different resource-uses can impact emissions, which should be understood by whole-farm assessments. To ensure that farms have an opportunity to consider whole-farm emissions and target approaches to reduce costs and key sources of emissions, YNYCA is procuring Farm Carbon Audits along with follow-up farm business advice
