In 2019, the UK became the first major economy to adopt a legal commitment to achieve ‘Net Zero’ carbon emissions by 2050.
Procurement Policy Note 06/21 has been live since 30th September 2021. Recently the amended version has been published to align with the Procurement Act 2023 - PPN 006 effective from 24 February 2025.
This measure requires suppliers bidding for major government contracts to commit to achieving Net Zero by 2050 and publish a ‘Carbon Reduction Plan’. Suppliers who fail to make this commitment or publish their plan risk being excluded from the procurement process.
This training with Crown Commercial Service will help suppliers in the creation of a carbon reduction plan and answer any questions around this requirement.
We will cover
- An overview of PPN06/21 and PPN 006
- Basics of what is needed in your CRP
- Basics of how to calculate your carbon emissions
- Areas that must be covered in the plan
- The template to be used
- What not to do
We will present for 60mins and then open the floor for question from the attendees for up to 30mins.
PPN 006 and associated guidance and FAQs are available here
