How GERMICIDAL UV
Got NHS Evergreen Ready
in Under 7 Days
Germicidal UV needed a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan and credible answers for the NHS Evergreen assessment, without tying up a four-person team for weeks. We turned the CRP around in under 7 days and guided them through Evergreen from there.

Before Using The Carbon Stamp
Germicidal UV had no assured carbon footprint, so the NHS Carbon Reduction Plan requirement was a blocker on bids.
A four-person team with no in-house carbon reporting experience and no time to learn it from scratch.
The NHS Evergreen assessment was unfamiliar territory, with procurement eligibility riding on getting it right.
After Using The Carbon Stamp
A complete Scope 1, 2 and 3 footprint aligned with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.
A PPN 006 compliant Carbon Reduction Plan, delivered in under 7 days and ready for NHS tenders.
Direct support populating the NHS Evergreen assessment, plus a shareable assured dashboard for buyers.
5-star Trustpilot review, "My life made easier!"
"I was not looking forward to the process of producing our Carbon Reduction Plan, so I contacted The Carbon Stamp after seeing some research that showed they had experience working with the NHS.
After speaking with Frazer at The Carbon Stamp, I felt much more confident about the process ahead.
Once Frazer had assessed our needs, he guided us through the whole process clearly and efficiently.
Once we had our Carbon Reduction Plan, Frazer helped us navigate the Evergreen Assessment.
Overall I can't speak highly enough about the professional way The Carbon Stamp delivered our needs."
The Company
Germicidal UV designs and manufactures germicidal ultraviolet disinfection equipment used across healthcare and commercial settings.
The team is small, four people, and supplies into the NHS, where carbon reporting and sustainability credentials are now part of staying on framework.
The Challenge
To keep bidding for NHS work, Germicidal UV needed a PPN 006 compliant Carbon Reduction Plan and credible answers to the NHS Evergreen sustainable supplier assessment. They wanted it done properly and quickly, without a project that pulled the team off their day jobs.
How The Carbon Stamp Helped
A call to map the route
John got in touch after seeing that we had worked with other NHS suppliers. We jumped on a call, talked through the services, and agreed the fastest compliant path: a full footprint, then the PPN 006 CRP, then Evergreen.
Remote data collection
We gathered the activity data remotely, across travel, commuting, deliveries and spend. The ask on their team was kept deliberately small so day-to-day work carried on.
CRP in under 7 days, then Evergreen
We built and signed off the Carbon Reduction Plan in under 7 days, then worked alongside John to populate the Evergreen assessment with the right level of evidence.
The Verified Footprint
Germicidal UV's first measured year runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. As an office-based supplier with no owned vehicles or reportable purchased energy, the whole footprint sits in Scope 3.

A shareable dashboard, not just a PDF
Alongside the report and the CRP, Germicidal UV got a branded, independently assured dashboard. It shows the Scope 1, 2 and 3 breakdown and the reduction trajectory on one live page they can send to NHS buyers.
- Live, shareable web page rather than a static document
- Scope 1, 2 and 3 breakdown with the business travel hotspot front and centre
- Updated each year as the Carbon Reduction Plan is refreshed
Looking Ahead
With an assured footprint, a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan and Evergreen answers in place, Germicidal UV can bid for NHS work with confidence. The Carbon Stamp stays on as their carbon partner for the annual refresh.
