PPN 06/21 is the abbreviation for the UK government Procurement Policy Note that was published in June 2021 and came into force on 30 September 2021. PPN 06/21 compliance helps to ensure alignment with the UK government’s 2050 net zero target by taking account of suppliers’ Carbon Reduction Plans (CRPs) in the procurement of major government contracts.
PPN 06/21 applies to all Central Government Departments, their Executive Agencies and Non Departmental Public Bodies in conducting procurement procedures regulated by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, where there is an anticipated contract value of £5 million per annum and above (excluding VAT).
If you are pitching for government projects, complying with PPN 06/21 demonstrates that you are a responsible supplier, aware of your environmental impact and taking steps to reduce your carbon emissions. It also means you are doing your part to support the UK’s legally binding net zero commitment under the 2015 Paris Agreement. PPN 06/21 compliance ensures that your company is in a position to tender for public contracts.
PPN 06/21 states that a carbon reduction plan must be provided by suppliers when responding to in-scope procurements. The process involves measuring and reporting on emissions from at least a base year and committing to reduce them with interim targets leading to net zero. Once you have created your carbon reduction plan, it needs to be signed and approved by a director, published on your UK website, and updated annually to ensure transparency and monitor progress.
The extent of your emissions reporting includes Scope 1, 2, and part of 3. The GHG Protocol defines 15 categories of Scope 3 in total. Your carbon footprint calculations and carbon reduction plan for PPN 06/21 must include the following five Scope 3 categories:
