Carbon Reduction Plans for UK public tenders (PPN 006)
Suppliers bidding for UK central government contracts worth more than £5 million a year must publish a Carbon Reduction Plan in the format set by Procurement Policy Note 006, which replaced PPN 06/21.
We calculate the emissions the template requires, write the reduction measures and the net zero commitment, and deliver a plan in the official format that a director can sign, then update it every year.
The problem we solve
The tender needs a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan, signed off by a director, before the deadline.
What is included
- Scope 1, 2 and the five required Scope 3 categories
- Net zero commitment by 2050 or sooner

Upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting and downstream transportation and distribution, alongside Scope 1 and 2.
What is the difference between PPN 006 and PPN 06/21?
