## Summary

The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) based in Banbury, United Kingdom, has concluded the procurement process for their project titled "Circular Economy Health Check". This initiative falls under the services category, specifically targeting research, development, and environmental consultancy sectors. An award notice was issued on 10th October 2025, marking the transition to the contract stage with Swansea University ARCS Programme as the supplier. The project's contract period extends from 13th October 2025 to 7th November 2025, with a potential for extension based on budget availability, to further refine the tool developed. The procurement used an open method under a below-threshold, open competition designation.
