A carbon consultancy helps your business measure, reduce and report greenhouse gas emissions. We collect your energy, fleet, travel, waste and supply-chain data, calculate Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard using current UK Government conversion factors, and produce the report your buyer or regulator actually needs.
Most of our clients come to us for one of four reasons: a PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plan for an NHS or public-sector tender, SECR compliance, a customer ESG or EcoVadis questionnaire, or ISO 14068 carbon neutral certification. We deliver all four under one fixed fee, in 4 to 8 weeks.
If you run a single site, have tidy energy data and no deadline, you can get a long way on your own. Estimate your footprint free and see how far the gaps are. You need a consultant once someone is going to audit the answer: a buyer scoring a PPN 006 plan, a bank or enterprise customer running an ESG questionnaire, or a tender that fails without a credible signed footprint. At that point the cost of getting the methodology wrong outweighs the fee.
For a UK SME, a one-off carbon consultancy engagement covering Scope 1, 2 and material Scope 3, with a report you can hand to a buyer, is a fixed project fee, not a day rate. Ours are published in full below and start at £895+VAT. The fee scales with employee count, number of sites and how deep the Scope 3 work goes.
That is usually a fraction of the contract value or customer relationship the report protects. The most expensive outcome is a rushed, non-compliant report that fails a tender you were otherwise going to win.
| Your situation | The deliverable | Starting fee |
|---|---|---|
| A public-sector or NHS tender asks for a Carbon Reduction Plan | Procurement-Ready Package (footprint plus PPN 006 CRP) | from £1,095+VAT |
| A customer or bank has sent an ESG or EcoVadis questionnaire | Carbon Impact Report (Scope 1, 2 and 3 footprint) | from £895+VAT |
| You want a carbon neutral claim you can defend | Carbon Impact Report plus the ISO 14068 certification route | from £895+VAT |
Optional add-ons: carbon offsetting at £6.50 per tonne of CO2e using verified Gold Standard or Verra credits, and an independent third-party review letter at £350+VAT.
Every band, every service, in full. All figures are one-off project fees in GBP, excluding VAT. Fees verified September 2026. For the full cost picture including what drives the number, see our cost breakdown guide.

Most carbon consultancies describe themselves in similar terms. These are the seven things that actually separate a report that passes procurement from one that does not, and how we answer each.
What good looks like: The report should say, in the methodology section, that it follows the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. Vague references to "best practice" are not the same thing.
How we answer it: Every report is built to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and says so, with the boundary and consolidation approach written down.
What good looks like: Emission factors are updated every year. The report should name which year's UK Government (DEFRA / DESNZ) factor set was used.
How we answer it: We use the latest published UK Government conversion factors and cite the year in the report.
What good looks like: Procurement and assurance want accountability. A company logo on the front page is not accountability; a named consultant or director signature is.
How we answer it: Frazer Holroyd signs every report personally. No junior handover, no offshore data team.
What good looks like: Ask for an anonymised sample and for named examples of tenders or frameworks their reports have been accepted into.
How we answer it: We can share anonymised deliverables and name recent successful submissions, including J Hopkins Contractors and Medicom Healthcare.
What good looks like: A credible consultant works through the 15 GHG Protocol categories, tells you which are material, and states where the data is estimated.
How we answer it: We scope Scope 3 against all 15 categories, cover the material ones, and write any spend-based estimates and their limitations into the report.
What good looks like: An open-ended day rate transfers the risk of a slow project onto you. A fixed fee against a written scope keeps it with the consultant.
How we answer it: Fixed project fees, published by employee band, agreed before you commit.
What good looks like: Carbon reporting is annual. Find out what the re-baseline costs now, not after you are locked in.
How we answer it: We re-baseline the following year at the same fixed fee, with no renewal mark-up.
