## Summary

Natural Resources Wales bought services for an AV Methane Survey, covering surface surveying and the use of surveying instruments. The requirement is intended to support methane surveying activity in Wales. Natural Resources Wales is the buying organisation and a Welsh public authority based in Cardiff. The award covers one service requirement delivered within Wales. The work is relevant to businesses that provide methane survey services, environmental or land-based surface surveying, and the associated specialist instruments or measurement capability. It may suit suppliers able to undertake field or remote survey work and provide reliable methane-related survey outputs to a public-sector environmental body.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. Natural Resources Wales used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. GHGSat UK Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026, runs from 4 September 2026 to 4 March 2027, and is valued at £61,301 excluding VAT, or £73,561 including VAT. The award relates to the single requirement for the AV Methane Survey. The tender and lot reached complete status, while the award and contract remain active. The process was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

For competitors, this award demonstrates demand from Natural Resources Wales for a defined methane surveying service delivered in Wales, using surveying instruments and surface-surveying capability. A credible future supplier would need to show that it can plan and carry out methane survey activity, operate the relevant measurement or surveying equipment, and produce dependable results suitable for environmental monitoring and public-sector decision-making. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that a specialist smaller business can meet the requirement. Relevant experience in methane detection or measurement, surface surveying, environmental data collection and clear technical reporting would help a supplier demonstrate fit when this buyer next considers a comparable requirement.
