We provide expedited PPN 006 compliance auditing for Tier 1 and Tier 2 Government Contractors
Understanding PPN 006 (06/21)
Procurement Policy Note 006 (formerly PPN 06/21) is a UK government framework requiring all organisations bidding for UK government contracts valued at £5 million or more annually. This framework requires a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) and must detail the suppliers’ carbon emissions for Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (indirect from energy use) and relevant Scope 3 (indirect) emissions such as transportation and waste, including a commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050 and outline environmental management measures during contract delivery.Under PPN 006, suppliers must follow a reporting process that ensures transparency and accountability in public sector procurement. This includes regular submissions tracking progress and compliance with environmental, social and economic criteria.
