Public sector carbon reduction plan

Public sector carbon reduction plan

From 30 September 2021, contractors bidding for central Government contracts worth more than £5m a year will be required to provide a Carbon Reduction Plan, which confirms their commitment to achieving net zero by 2050 and sets out the environmental management measures they will have in place during the performance of the contract. Carbon Reduction Plans must be updated at least once a year and meet the standard set out in Procurement Policy Note (PPN) 06/21, which includes a template that contractors can use.
