## Summary

NPL Management Limited is buying specialist scientific research and environmental modelling services for its Emissions Measurement System Programme. The work covers developing and applying atmospheric inversion models to improve estimates of UK greenhouse gas emissions; analysing methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide trends; attributing methane emissions to sectors; integrating observational datasets; and enhancing modelling tools and codebases. The outputs are intended to produce robust, traceable and timely emissions estimates for national reporting, verification and environmental policy development. This is a services requirement in the research and environmental data field, classified as research services. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The procurement involved one requirement, managed by NPL Management Limited, a public undertaking based in Teddington.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold procedure. Met Office was selected for the single requirement, with the award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and runs from 17 August 2026 to 17 August 2026. Its value is £9,800,000 excluding VAT, or £11,760,000 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The purchasing organisation is NPL Management Limited, and the successful supplier is the Met Office. The requirement was evaluated as a single lot. The published data identifies the procurement method as “below threshold - unknown”; it does not provide a more specific procedure or evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates substantial demand for advanced greenhouse-gas measurement and analysis capability within a UK public-sector research programme. A credible future competitor would need expertise in atmospheric inversion modelling, emissions estimation and environmental modelling, supported by strong scientific research capability. Relevant experience would include analysing methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide trends, attributing emissions to economic sectors, combining monitoring and observational datasets, and developing or maintaining scientific software and codebases. Suppliers should also be able to produce results that are robust, traceable and timely enough for national emissions reporting and verification, while translating technical outputs into evidence for environmental policy. Organisations with large-scale meteorological, atmospheric-science or environmental data capabilities are particularly well aligned with this requirement and its public-sector context.

## Notice

Provision of specialist scientific research and environmental modelling services in support of the Emissions Measurement System Programme. The work includes the development and application of atmospheric inversion modelling techniques to improve the estimation of UK greenhouse gas emissions, analysis of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission trends, sectoral attribution of methane emissions, integration of observational datasets, and enhancement of modelling tools and codebases. The services will support the production of robust, traceable, and timely greenhouse gas emissions estimates to inform national emissions reporting, verification activities, and environmental policy development.
