The Met Office undertook an initial Preliminary Market Engagement exercise in May 2026 to understand market capability and potential approaches to the supply of verified UK nature-based carbon credits. All clarification questions raised during the previous PME, together with the responses provided, are included at Annex A for information. Please note: The requirement has changed to verified UK nature-based carbon removal credits only; therefore, some previous PME responses may no longer apply. Since that engagement, the proposed procurement approach and requirement have developed. The Met Office is now considering the purchase of approximately £500,000 of verified UK nature-based carbon credits during FY 2026/27, with the credits intended to be retired in FY 2030/31. A small proportion of the credits may be retired earlier to offset business travel incurred in customer funded programmes. As the tender documentation has developed, a number of additional questions have been identified where further market insight would be beneficial. The Met Office therefore intends to undertake a further period of Preliminary Market Engagement to inform the market of the revised approach, provide an update on anticipated procurement timelines, seek feedback on the additional questions arising from the development of the tender documentation, confirm our understanding of the terminology, and assess current market interest and capability to participate in the opportunity. The engagement will be used to support the continued development and assessment of the Met Office’s proposed approach, including the potential procurement strategy and associated documentation. Feedback received through the engagement will help inform the Met Office’s consideration of the available options and whether and how to proceed with any future procurement opportunity. Participation in this engagement does not represent a commitment by the Met Office to undertake a subsequent procurement exercise, nor provide any process exemptions or preferential treatment to any parties expressing an interest. The Met Office will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this exercise. This exercise does not commit the Met Office to a procurement and does not guarantee that a future procurement will take place.

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, comprising Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution plc and Southern Electric Power Distribution plc, intends to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the supply and delivery of low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) cable products. The Framework Agreement may also be called off by SSEN Transmission, SSE Renewables, SSE utility Solution Ltd, TESGL Ltd and SSE Heat Networks Ltd where technically appropriate. The scope will include LV concentric cables, LV waveform cables, LV auxiliary “fast runner” cables, and 11kV and 33kV cable products. By combining these requirements into a single procurement exercise, SSEN aims to improve security of supply, maximise competition, support supplier participation, provide greater demand visibility, and deliver value for customers. The arrangement is also intended to support SSEN Distribution’s ED3 and ED4 investment programme and future network requirements. The proposed scope of the new framework is intended to be, but not limited to: • LV Concentric Cables • LV Waveform Cables • Selected LV Auxiliary ("fast runner") Cables • 11kV Cables • 33kV Cables The current proposed lotting strategy is: Lot Description Lot 1 LV Concentric & Auxiliary Cables North Lot 2 LV Concentric & Auxiliary Cables South Lot 3 LV Waveform Cables North Lot 4 LV Waveform Cables South Lot 5 MV Cables North Lot 6 MV Cables South SSEN intends to establish a multi-supplier framework and currently anticipates appointing up to the three highest ranked suppliers per lot, subject to receipt of sufficient compliant, suitable and competitive tenders. Suppliers will be ranked following evaluation; however, SSE would retain flexibility to allocate requirements between awarded suppliers based on operational requirements, service performance, lead times, product availability, manufacturing capacity, quality performance and overall value delivered. As part of the tender process, suppliers may be required to submit pricing against a range of indicative award and allocation scenarios, which may include sole supplier, dual-source and multi-supplier models. This will allow SSEN to assess the relationship between volume allocation, pricing efficiency, supply chain resilience and value for money before finalising the award strategy. Suppliers may also be invited to identify any additional commercial benefits, capacity commitments, service improvements or efficiencies that could be achieved through the award of multiple lots. SSEN will consider these alongside the need to maintain appropriate supply chain resilience and continuity of supply. Suppliers will not be required to hold full SSEN technical approval prior to framework award. This approach is intended to support participation from a wider range of technically credible manufacturers. All suppliers will remain subject to SSEN’s technical assessment and approval requirements, and no supplier will be permitted to supply cable under the framework until the relevant approvals have been successfully completed.
