Green tech innovators and providers of sustainable solutions are invited to showcase their products for the chance to be piloted with Lloyds before potentially being rolled out at scale.
This is the second time Lloyds and Wates have teamed up to seek sustainable solutions and emerging green technologies.
Last year's competition saw four products being piloted across the Lloyds estate. For this new campaign, Lloyds is seeking products that will: accelerate progress to net zero operations and reduce waste from offices and sites across a building's life cycle, reduce home working emissions by supporting employees in reducing their domestic carbon footprint, improve sustainable and low carbon modes of transport, enhance biodiversity across its estate by protecting habitats and the natural environment.
The competition aims to support Lloyds' ambitious goal to reach net zero carbon operations by 2030. It also reflects Wates' ambition to be net zero by 2045.
The partnership is being delivered in collaboration with Wates Innovation Network (WIN) Portal. The WIN Portal launched in 2021 and is a first-of-its-kind network of market-leading sustainable technologies and services.
This year's competition builds on the businesses' existing relationship, which includes a ten-year partnership with Wates Smartspace to refit and upgrade Lloyds' spaces as it seeks to make its estate more sustainable.
Suppliers of innovative solutions can register their interest here. Shortlisted suppliers will be chosen to present their products to a panel of representatives from Wates and Lloyds.

The crucial next step is to connect these sustainable solutions with Lloyds and other built environment customers, many of which need help to identify the best, most cost-effective services or products for their estates. Our work through the WIN Portal bridges this gap, which is vital to our collective journey towards carbon neutrality.'
Matteo Deidda, Senior Sustainability Manager at
We know a collaborative approach is crucial to meeting our own operational climate goals and we are delighted to be partnering with Wates again this year. We have had excellent successes with technologies piloted from last year's competition and look forward to uncovering more innovative solutions with this year's competition.'
