## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) bought sustainability and carbon professional services for the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). The work falls within environmental management and concerns sustainability and carbon support for STFC. The procurement was structured as Lot 7 of a wider framework-related process. The contracting data does not describe specific tasks, deliverables or the locations where the services are to be carried out, so the stated scope is the professional-services requirement for STFC rather than a more detailed specification. UKRI is the buying organisation and the requirement relates to its STFC activities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Scotch Partners LLP, an SME. The award was made on 29 September 2026. The award value is £69,000 excluding VAT (£82,800 including VAT). The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 March 2029. This was a selective, competitive award under a framework and below the applicable threshold. The requirement was divided into one lot, which is complete. The published award data does not set out an evaluation formula or detailed eligibility conditions, so the basis on which suppliers were compared beyond the competitive framework process is not described.

This award shows demand from UKRI, for STFC, for specialist sustainability and carbon professional services delivered through a competitive framework route. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need credible environmental management expertise and the ability to advise on sustainability and carbon matters relevant to STFC. The award went to an SME, showing that a smaller specialist consultancy was capable of winning this requirement; it does not establish that size is a formal condition. The scope recorded is professional services rather than a specified product or construction package, so relevant consulting capability is central. Suppliers should be prepared to compete through the applicable framework and demonstrate a clear fit with the buyer’s sustainability and carbon needs.
