## Summary

The Crown Estate has completed an open procurement procedure for a Sustainability Framework, aimed at advancing sustainability efforts across the UK. The framework, which covers strategic advisory services, climate and nature investment, and marine industry services, is structured into five Lots. The award stage, as of 16 June 2026, signifies the finalisation of contracts with key suppliers. The process involved the participation of both large enterprises and SMEs, demonstrating inclusivity and diversity in suppliers. This central government initiative, with a comprehensive contract period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2030, is part of the wider sustainability strategy engaged within the Enterprise.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in sustainability consulting, climate finance, and related industries. The open procedure and multi-lot framework provide scope for various business sizes, including SMEs and VCSEs, to engage in substantial projects under the framework agreement.

The procurement process ensures a competitive yet inclusive environment, creating extensive opportunities for businesses to contribute to and benefit from sustainability projects commissioned by The Crown Estate.
