Consulting firms are being alerted to an upcoming opportunity to design a low carbon roadmap for the foundry sector, as the Ministry of Industry and Technology sets out the next phase of the Turkey Green Industry Project and its wider push for green transformation and environmental sustainability.
On 6th April 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Technology published a prior information notice for the Turkey Green Industry Project. The notice signals the ministry’s intention to procure consulting services to develop a Low Carbon Roadmap for the country’s foundry sector.
The brief is straightforward but far‑reaching. The future contract will ask consultants to help chart how a traditionally energy‑ and resource‑intensive industry can align with green transformation goals and improve its environmental performance. The roadmap is expected to set out a structured path towards lower carbon operations across the sector.
By flagging the requirement at this early stage, the ministry is using the prior information notice as a way to prepare the market and indicate the kind of expertise it expects to draw on. That is likely to include firms and individuals with experience in industrial decarbonisation, sector diagnostics and policy or regulatory frameworks, although the notice itself does not yet spell out detailed terms of reference.
The foundry focus makes this move notable. While many green initiatives centre on power generation or transport, this work targets an industrial subsector that underpins manufacturing supply chains. A dedicated low carbon roadmap suggests the authorities see the sector as both a challenge and an opportunity within the broader transition.
The roadmap notice sits within a wider programme of activity under the Turkey Green Industry Project name. In March 2026, the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye issued a separate prior information notice inviting individual environmental consultants to express interest in supporting the same programme. That notice, published on 23rd March 2026, seeks experts to provide environmental consulting services for the Türkiye Green Industry Project, which is explicitly framed as aiming to enhance green transformation in industry.
Taken together, these notices suggest the programme is moving on two tracks:
This combination of detailed sector work and broader environmental advisory capacity points to an approach that treats decarbonisation as both a technical and an institutional task. The roadmap will likely need to align with wider industrial policy, environmental regulation and access to finance for green investments, areas where scientific and technological agencies can provide additional guidance.
The foundry roadmap is one of a growing number of consultancy‑driven initiatives linked to green transformation, resilience and infrastructure.
In November 2025, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure’s Directorate General of Infrastructure Investments issued a prior information notice for consulting services to provide project implementation support, technical assistance and capacity building for the Eastern Türkiye Middle Corridor Railway Development Project. That notice, published on 7th November 2025, shows a transport authority turning to external expertise to manage a complex infrastructure scheme.
On the environmental side, the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization has been particularly active. A prior information notice of 20th January 2026 seeks consultancy support for renewable energy feasibility studies in various provinces. The aim there is to assess installations that would increase self‑production and self‑consumption of energy in public buildings.
Earlier, on 17th November 2025, the General Directorate of Forestry’s Project Coordination Unit published a prior information notice seeking consulting services for a Dam Safety Analysis Project. That assignment covers dam break analysis and emergency preparedness plans under the Resilient Landscape Integration Project, linking environmental management with disaster risk reduction.
Water management agencies are following a similar pattern. On 15th January 2026, the water directorate of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (Tarim ve Orman Bakanligi Devlet Su Isleri Genel Mudurlugu) issued a prior information notice for a drought monitoring consultancy in the Ceyhan Basin, as part of the Türkiye Flood and Drought Management Project. The consulting services cover assessment of existing drought monitoring systems, a review of best practices and development of a framework for real‑time monitoring.
That project is also building its own internal capacity. On 13th March 2026, the Directorate General of Water Management published a prior information notice for a Senior Procurement Specialist to support the project implementation unit of the same flood and drought management project. The role spans procurement planning, documentation and contract monitoring, highlighting how specialist skills in public procurement itself are increasingly part of the consultancy mix.
Urban resilience is another major theme. Notices in February 2026 from the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change seek an individual consultant procurement expert for the Türkiye Earthquake Recovery and Reconstruction Project, and an Environmental Specialist to support the Urban Transformation Presidency in enhancing climate and disaster resilience in Izmir under the Climate and Disaster Resilient Cities Project.
Municipalities and utilities are also commissioning work. On 16th February 2026, Manisa Water & Sewerage Administration published a prior information notice for consulting services supervising drinking water and sewerage construction, again under the Climate and Disaster Resilient Cities Project. A few months earlier, on 10th November 2025, Kayseri Buyuksehir Belediyesi launched a contract notice for junction construction works and related roads, funded by a World Bank project and linked to the same urban resilience agenda.
Green transformation in this procurement cycle reaches well beyond heavy industry, energy and cities.
On 12th December 2025, the Agriculture and Rural Development Support Institution issued a prior information notice for consulting services linked to the preparation stages of the Türkiye Agrifood Sector Transformation Project. That work focuses on enhancing investment in agribusiness and improving access to finance for enterprises, tying rural development to green and inclusive growth.
In the forestry sphere, a contract notice dated 8th December 2025 from the General Directorate of Forestry covers procurement of hardware and equipment to strengthen technical infrastructure under the Türkiye Climate Resilient Forests Project. While this is not a consultancy contract, it underlines how analytical work is beginning to convert into tangible investment in monitoring and management systems.
Digital land management is also on the agenda. On 15th January 2026, the land registry and cadastre authority (Tapu Kadastro Genel Mudurlugu) published a contract notice for the production of 3D city models across 258 districts. The work sits under a project explicitly titled “land management infrastructure for green and sustainable development”, showing how spatial data and modelling are being treated as foundational tools for climate‑aware urban and regional planning.
There is also a regional dimension to the consultancy trend. On 20th November 2025, the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy in Mozambique issued a prior information notice for consulting services to prepare a Power Sector Reform Roadmap under the Green Energy Corridors Project. That assignment focuses on energy security and modernising the power sector through diagnostics and actionable reform measures, mirroring the roadmap approach now being proposed for the foundry sector.
The prior information notice for the Low Carbon Roadmap for the foundry sector does not yet set out detailed procurement procedures or timing. It does, however, confirm that the Ministry of Industry and Technology intends to draw on external consulting capacity to steer industrial decarbonisation, and that this work will be embedded within the wider Turkey Green Industry Project.
For advisers and firms active in industrial policy, environmental management and infrastructure, the recent wave of notices shows a sustained pipeline of opportunities: from sector roadmaps to project implementation support, from environmental and procurement specialists to supervision of climate‑resilient works.
The next step will be the release of the full tender documentation for the foundry roadmap assignment, which will clarify the scope, deliverables and selection criteria. Against the backdrop of parallel initiatives in energy, agrifood, water, forests and cities, the way this contract is framed and awarded will offer a further indication of how industrial decarbonisation is being translated into concrete projects on the ground.
