Carbon Reduction Plan Consultants for PPN 006 Tenders
A Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) is the formal, compliance-ready document that sets out your baseline Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions, your reduction targets and your route to Net Zero by 2050. For suppliers bidding on central-government and NHS contracts above £5m, a PPN 006-compliant CRP is a pass/fail requirement, we build yours to the GHG Protocol and DEFRA factors, with director sign-off, at a fixed fee in 2–4 weeks.

What a Completed Carbon Reduction Plan Looks Like
Every CRP we deliver follows the PPN 006 Annex A format, including baseline emissions data, Scope 1–3 breakdowns, reduction targets, and a Net Zero by 2050 commitment. This is a real report cover from one of our clients.
Our reports are designed for procurement evaluators: clear structure, verified data, and director sign-off ready.
What you get
A complete, submission-ready Carbon Reduction Plan, written to the PPN 006 Annex format, signed off and ready to attach to your tender.

Trusted by NHS & public-sector suppliers
Real suppliers who needed a compliant PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plan, often against a tender deadline, and got one.
"They stepped in at short notice as we had a tender deadline to meet, and produced a clear, professional PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plan just in time for our submission. Smooth and stress-free, highly recommend."
"The Carbon Stamp was a lifeline for completing our NHS tender submission. Frazer and his team helped us finish our PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plan in a quick, professional way, highly recommended."
"This was our first experience with carbon reporting, and The Carbon Stamp supported us every step of the way. The Carbon Impact Report and Carbon Reduction Plan were delivered in a very short timeframe."
"An exceptional experience from start to finish. The step-by-step guidance made the process straightforward and stress-free, we're thrilled with our Carbon Reduction Plan."
On a tender deadline?
Most PPN 006 CRPs are delivered in 2–4 weeks from data handover, and where a verified footprint already exists, in as little as 10 working days. Tell us your submission date and we'll work to it.

How we create your compliant CRP
Our carbon reduction specialists follow GHG Protocol standards and PPN 006 requirements so your Carbon Reduction Plan is accurate, credible, and passes procurement evaluation, whether for internal net zero goals or a public-sector tender.
1Identify
We begin with a consultation to understand your business operations, reporting needs, and compliance requirements. Our carbon consultants define the organizational and operational boundaries for your assessment, identifying all relevant emission sources across Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories.
2Collect
You receive data collection templates matched to your operations, covering energy use, transport, waste, and purchased goods. Our carbon consultancy team guides you through the process and validates data quality, using industry benchmarks to fill gaps where needed.
3Calculate
We calculate your carbon footprint using the latest DEFRA emissions factors and GHG Protocol methodologies. All emissions are converted to CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) to provide a complete picture of your environmental impact across all material categories.
4Report
You receive a full carbon footprint report with executive summary, detailed methodology, emissions breakdown, and prioritised reduction recommendations. It meets compliance requirements and gives you a baseline to work from, with ongoing updates and support.
5Reduce
Develop actionable, time-bound strategies for emissions reduction. We prioritise high-impact actions that align with your Net Zero by 2050 commitment.
Standards We Follow
- GHG Protocol Corporate Standard: The global framework for measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions
- ISO 14064: International standard for quantification and reporting of GHG emissions
- SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting): UK mandatory reporting requirements
- PPN 006 (formerly PPN 06/21): NHS procurement policy for carbon reduction plans

How We Build PPN 006 Compliance Into Your Carbon Reduction Plan
Every plan we produce satisfies PPN 006 (formerly PPN 06/21, see the original gov.uk publication) in full, so it can go straight into a tender for central government contracts above £5 million per annum. We work to the same standard for NHS framework agreements, local authority contracts and wider public sector procurement. If you want the policy itself in detail, read what PPN 006 requires.
The Five Obligations, and How We Discharge Each One
- 1
Net Zero by 2050 Commitment
We draft the Net Zero by 2050 commitment in the wording evaluators expect, and get it board-approved before you submit.
- 2
Scope 1, 2, and Relevant Scope 3 Reporting
We collect and sense-check your data, then calculate every scope to the GHG Protocol using current DEFRA factors. You get the working, not just the number.
- 3
Annual CRP Publication
We hand over a publication-ready document and set your restatement baseline, so next year's update is a refresh rather than a rebuild.
- 4
Annex A Template Format
We write straight into the government's Annex A structure, so nothing has to be reformatted the week your bid is due.
- 5
Pass/Fail Compliance Evaluation
Evaluation is pass or fail, so we check your plan against the failure points that get bids disqualified before it leaves us.
The February 2025 rename from PPN 06/21 changed the name, not the obligations.
