PPN 06/21 mandates that government suppliers, including those for the NHS, develop and implement a Carbon Reduction Plan for suppliers with contracts over £5m.
In Q3 23, the NHS announced the lowering of this threshold to £10,000, highlighting the growing emphasis on environmental responsibility.
Businesses seeking NHS contracts over £10,000 are required to show a Net Zero commitment. Additionally, companies tendering for contracts above £5 million need a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP).
CRPs outline a supplier's carbon footprint and reduction roadmap, becoming a critical factor in procurement decisions as the NHS moves towards Net Zero.
Net Zero Now's platform and consultancy services offer a seamless solution for achieving compliance with NHS procurement standards, from emissions tracking to CRP development.
A comprehensive CRP includes scope 1, 2, and partial scope 3 emissions data, along with current and planned emissions reduction initiatives, aligning with best practices and NHS expectations.
