Not sure where to start with creating a carbon reduction plan for a tender?
Since September 2021, all suppliers bidding for major government contracts, have been required to create a carbon reduction plan to comply with the Procurement Policy Note (PPN) 06/21.
This condition is now also being used by many public organisations for contracts below the threshold of £5m per annum.
In order to create a carbon reduction plan, organisations need to measure their carbon footprint and commit to net zero.
We will swiftly review your emissions data and existing carbon and energy reduction plans, as well as scope out your future options.
Our net zero consultants provide you with the expertise you need to both comply with this legislation and support and enhance your tender opportunities.
Understanding your current and future carbon emissions, scope 1,2 and 5 areas of scope 3.
We can quickly evaluate your current and likely future emissions, using existing data available in your organisation to develop calculation methodologies.
Following the baseline review we can identify likely emissions reduction options available to your business, and set out a trajectory to Net Zero, based on your ambitions and practical achievable steps to achieve this.

Our results
Case study: Total Motion
Total motion contracted Optopia to develop a Carbon Reduction Plan within 2 weeks to support a large public sector tender they wished to enter.
Optopia quickly evaluated the business and its sources of emissions, including operational procedures.
This was built up from data readily available in the business.
We then reviewed the available options/technology in the marketplace which could help the company reduce its emissions.
Our specialist team ultimately set out a realistic trajectory to net zero.
Whilst this delayed the company’s ambitions by 2 years, it actually established a real and achievable target.
A fully compliant, data-driven and actionable carbon reduction plan was delivered on time to support their tender.
