## Summary

The Environment Agency, a central government public authority based in London, has completed the procurement process for the "Environmental capacity planning sub-project". This project, under the industry category of services, specifically focuses on research and development consultancy services. The procurement process reached the award stage, with Ricardo Energy & Environment being selected as the supplier. The contract, valued at £49,938.30, began on 18 December 2024 and concluded on 31 March 2025. The initiative addresses the environmental risks associated with low carbon technologies, aiming for strategic spatial planning in the UK's Net Zero industrial clusters. The procurement method was noted as below threshold with unspecified details.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in environmental consultancy, particularly those specialising in low carbon technologies and strategic planning. Given that Ricardo Energy & Environment, a large-scale organisation, secured the contract, businesses with substantial resources and expertise in environmental research and planning, particularly those that can contribute to strategic development in Net Zero clusters, would find similar opportunities promising for business growth. Such contracts can foster innovation and strengthen the presence of qualified firms within the growing sector of environmental sustainability.

## Notice

Low carbon technologies pose new risks to the environment, particularly emerging technologies such as carbon capture, and hydrogen production. To gain an understanding of these risks, the Climate Change Team in E&B have been leading work on the environmental capacity in the regions where Net Zero industrial clusters are located. The sub project considers options for strategic spatial planning for industrial clusters.
