Located in Lowestoft, United Kingdom, the Town Council has aimed to enhance its sustainable practices through this initiative. The procurement, managed as an open competition below the threshold, involved a thorough assessment process focusing on value for money and the scope of work proposed. The tender period concluded on 7th April 2026 and the contract was awarded on 28th April 2026. GROUNDWORK EAST, an SME with expertise in energy-efficiency consultancy and environmental auditing, was awarded the contract, which is set to run from 1st June 2026 to 1st March 2027 with a potential extension depending on the need for contract overruns. This project falls under the services category in the area of environmental and energy-efficiency services. The "Carbon Report" creates significant business opportunities primarily for consultants specialising in energy efficiency and environmental auditing. SMEs and VCSEs (voluntary, community, and social enterprises) keen to engage in sustainability projects would find this contract particularly valuable to expand their portfolio in offering consultancy on eco-friendly operational strategies. The consultancy services required align well with organisations experienced in analysing carbon footprints and implementing practical sustainability solutions. As Lowestoft Town Council prioritises best value and scope of work, businesses with a comprehensive approach to sustainability training and carbon emission reduction strategies are highly encouraged to participate in similar future tenders. ## Notice Quotations should cover the following services and each element of the overall report required should be individually costed: * A full report of carbon emissions by the Town Council across all of its operations and assets and how these could be reduced: a.
