Yucatrote, Lda is a small research and development company registered in Luz, Lagos, in the Algarve. In November 2025 the University of Helsinki awarded it a €375,000 software-services contract to produce carbon-balance estimates with the PREBAS forest simulation model.
The University of Helsinki’s notice is titled “PREBAS simulointimallin tuottamat hiilitasearviot” — carbon-balance estimates produced by the PREBAS simulation model, a forest growth and carbon model used in Finnish forest-carbon research. It was classified as software-related services and valued at €375,000, with Yucatrote, Lda named as the sole winner in the award notice published on 26 November 2025.
Yucatrote was incorporated on 9 June 2021 with €500 of share capital and is registered in Luz, Lagos, for research in the physical and natural sciences and engineering services. The contract is one of three Finnish public awards to Portuguese companies that NorthSouth HQ has profiled, alongside Skelt (Fingrid) and Cyclops (Servica Oy).
Nordic universities buy specialised research capacity through open EU procedures, and those procedures do not care where a small team is registered. For Portuguese knowledge-intensive micro-firms, a Finnish forest-carbon contract is a template: find the Nordic research programmes that outsource modelling, analysis or software, and bid for them on TED.
26 November 2025: the University of Helsinki publishes the €375,000 PREBAS carbon-balance award to Yucatrote, Lda (TED 784083-2025). See NorthSouth HQ’s analysis of Portuguese winners in Nordic public procurement.
