## Summary

The procurement process, led by the Waste & Resources Action Programme, involved the development of a Net Zero Sector Transition Plan aimed at supporting UK industry and government efforts to achieve net zero emissions. The procurement, which falls under the services industry category, utilised a selective method and was completed on 30th March 2026. It was conducted under the framework legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. The contracting stage is complete, with the contract awarded to Ridge Environmental Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Cheadle, UK. The contract period runs from 31st March to 31st May 2026, with a total value of £18,000. The procurement was below threshold and made under a framework.
