## Summary

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), in partnership with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology Group Commercial (DSIT Group Commercial), has recently completed a procurement process for the review of the potential collaboration with the Green Finance Institute's Transition Finance Lab. This procurement, classified under financial consultancy services, was carried out without prior publication due to its unique nature and the direct appointment of the sole capable supplier, GFI SOLUTIONS LTD. The contract, valued at £70,000, was signed on 9th January 2026. This process was concluded as part of the DESNZ and DSIT Group Commercial's efforts to explore innovative financial structures for the Clean Energy Mission in the UK. The procurement method employed was limited given the specialised expertise required, and the work focuses on developing a narrative and governance structure for the intended partnership.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the financial consultancy and clean energy sectors to align with national projects targeting innovative financial structures. The involvement of the Green Finance Institute suggests suitable opportunities for firms focused on sustainable finance and clean energy investments. Businesses that can offer unique expertise in transitioning financial strategies or possess existing collaborations with public finance institutions will find meaningful growth potential through such partnerships. Engaging with initiatives associated with government bodies like DESNZ can enhance a company's reputation and open further avenues within green financing and public sector projects in the UK.

## Notice

HMG's Financial Services and Growth Strategy specifically flagged that DESNZ would work proactively with the Green Finance Institute and others to "explore innovative financial structures for the Clean Energy Mission." DESNZ, we see a genuine potential to add value by partnering with the GFI on their TF Lab, but need more examples of the value it can add and be able to develop a narrative and governance structure.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Work is needed to both scope out the exact nature of a Partnership ( DESNZ and Green Finance Institute) and develop a consensus across government, including HMT and key Public Finance Institutions, of the value of developing and funding such an initiative.

### Procurement Information

The contract value of PS70,000 is below the applicable procurement thresholds, so no prior publication in OJEU/Find a Tender was required. A direct award is lawful because the Green Finance Institute is the only organisation with the established Transition Finance Lab and the exclusive expertise necessary to deliver the work, meaning no reasonable alternative supplier exists.
