The Procurement Policy Note (PPN) on Taking Account of Carbon Reduction Plans in Major Government Contracts provides updated guidance on incorporating suppliers’ Net Zero Carbon Reduction Plans (CRPs) into procurement decisions. Updated in February 2025, it applies to central government departments, executive agencies, and non-departmental public bodies for contracts over £5 million per year. The PPN aligns with the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024, effective 24 February 2025. It mandates that bidding suppliers demonstrate their commitment to achieving net zero by 2050, report current carbon emissions, and outline environmental management measures. This policy supports the UK’s net zero target, ensuring sustainability and carbon reduction in public sector supply chains.
