DESNZ & DSIT Group Commercial · award, contract

Tender information last checkedLast checked 5 Oct 2026, 03:37.

Opportunity overview

HMG’s Financial Services and Growth Strategy specifically flagged that DESNZ would work proactively with the Green Finance Institute and others to “explore innovative financial structures for the Clean Energy Mission.” DESNZ, we see a genuine potential to add value by partnering with the GFI on their TF Lab, but need more examples of the value it can add and be able to develop a narrative and governance structure.

Procurement Method Details
Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Why this procedure was chosen
The contract value of £70,000 is below the applicable procurement thresholds, so no prior publication in OJEU/Find a Tender was required. A direct award is lawful because the Green Finance Institute is the only organisation with the established Transition Finance Lab and the exclusive expertise necessary to deliver the work, meaning no reasonable alternative supplier exists.
