For Businesses

Win public contracts with a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan

We help UK businesses build PPN 06/21-aligned Carbon Reduction Plans for public sector tenders, plus practical Net Zero roadmaps that go beyond box-ticking.

Why It Matters

Compliance that opens doors

Since September 2021, UK government procurement policy note PPN 06/21 has required suppliers bidding for contracts above £5 million per year to publish a Carbon Reduction Plan. Increasingly, private sector clients are asking for the same from their supply chains.

We translate the compliance requirement into a clear, credible plan — backed by real emissions data and realistic reduction milestones, not vague pledges.

Common Questions

Carbon Plan FAQs

View all FAQs

A Carbon Reduction Plan is a document required under UK government procurement policy note PPN 06/21 for suppliers bidding on major public sector contracts, detailing a company's carbon footprint and its commitments toward reaching Net Zero by 2050.

Any business bidding for UK central government contracts above £5 million per year must submit a Carbon Reduction Plan as part of their tender. Many private sector clients now also request one as part of supply chain due diligence.

A compliant plan includes Scope 1 and 2 emissions as a minimum (some Scope 3 categories where required), a baseline year, current emissions data, completed and planned carbon reduction measures, and a target date for achieving Net Zero.
