PPN 006 gets suppliers through the bid stage, but a separate schedule can bind you to annual carbon reporting and reduction targets for the life of the contract.
PPN 026 applies only to central government. Wales runs a £6 million Carbon Reduction Plan gate of its own, Scotland asks through the SPD, and councils set their own rules. Here is what that means if you are bidding.
Crown Commercial Service has folded into a new Government Commercial Agency, and PPN 026 has rewritten social value scoring. Neither one touches the PPN 006 carbon reduction plan gate.
From April 2027, larger NHS contracts will need a Carbon Reduction Plan covering all global Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. That's a step up from today's UK-based, partial Scope 3 basis, and it runs the opposite way to the PPN 026 headlines about net zero in procurement.
PPN 026 strips carbon out of how government scores social value in tenders from 2027. Your PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plan requirement hasn't moved, and skipping it still costs you the bid.
Bidding on a government contract once this year? The new Single-Bid Pass gives you a full PPN 006-compliant Carbon Reduction Plan, certificate, and 30 days of Pro access for a one-off £99. No subscription, no recurring charges.
