## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, involves a completed tender for a VCM contract with Accenture (UK) Limited to conduct a research project evaluating the economic benefits of UK carbon markets. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically for research services, and was conducted through a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold status. The contract was awarded on 7 January 2026, with the project period spanning from 8 January 2026 to 30 March 2026. The procurement is based in London, UK, and aligns with legal guidelines outlined in UK legislation 2023/54.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses focusing on research and consultancy services within the environmental or economic sectors, particularly those interested in carbon market studies. While the contract was awarded to a large, well-established firm like Accenture, similar businesses with expertise in economic analysis, environmental policy, or sustainability consulting could find future opportunities in similar tenders valuable for business growth, depending on demand for specialised knowledge in carbon market impacts and benefits.
