Not every public-sector supplier needs one. It depends on who the buyer is and how big the contract is.
| Buyer | When a CRP may be required | Source |
|---|---|---|
| UK central government departments, their executive agencies and non-departmental public bodies | Under PPN 006, for procurements under the Procurement Act 2023 advertised on or after 24 February 2025 with an expected value above £5 million a year (including VAT), where the buyer decides the measure is relevant and proportionate. It is a pass/fail selection condition. The plan must be signed off and published within the 12 months before the tender, or since the tender notice. Procurements started earlier follow PPN 06/21. | PPN 006 (GOV.UK) |
| NHS England and NHS bodies | Now: a CRP for new contracts above £5m a year, and a CRP or Net Zero Commitment for new procurements below £5m that are above the published procurement thresholds. From 1 April 2027, a new "2027 NHS CRP" (covering all relevant Scope 3) applies to contracts above £5m a year and to new frameworks. A PPN 006-style CRP applies below £5m and above the thresholds. The Net Zero Commitment is not used for new procurements from that date. | Greener NHS suppliers · NHS 2027 requirements |
| Other public buyers (for example councils, universities, housing associations) | PPN 006 does not bind them, but some may ask for a CRP in their own tender questions. Check the tender documents. | The buyer's tender documents |
| Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland devolved administrations | PPN 006 is not mandatory for them. Their own rules apply. | PPN 006 FAQ |
Subcontractors are not required to have their own CRP under PPN 006. A plan showing higher emissions than last year does not mean failure. A CRP is treated as valid for 12 months, after which it needs refreshing. Always follow the specific tender's instructions.
For organisations with up to 25 full-time-equivalent staff and UK operations. Larger or multi-site organisations: ask for a quote. Carbon Plan Desk is not VAT-registered, so no VAT is charged. You pay only after approving the draft. If you do not approve it, you pay nothing.
Not offered at launch: the enhanced "2027 NHS CRP" (all relevant Scope 3, for NHS procurements from 1 April 2027) and the NHS Net Zero Commitment (which only applies to NHS procurements that started before 1 April 2027).
Only if the tender asks for one. See the table above. PPN 006 applies to in-scope central government procurements above £5m a year (inc VAT). NHS requirements are set out in NHS England guidance. Other buyers may ask for one in their own documents.
No. PPN 006 does not require an external audit, and we do not provide one. The plan states this.
The UK government greenhouse gas conversion factors for company reporting (published by DESNZ) for your reporting year. Where your year spans two calendar years, we use the set for the calendar year containing most of your reporting period, as the government methodology advises. The plan names the exact set and version.
Your board of directors (or, for an LLP, the members) approves it and a director or designated member signs it. We never sign on your behalf.
For a 12-month period: electricity and gas use (kWh), fuel or mileage for company vehicles, refrigerant top-ups if any, business travel, a staff commuting estimate, waste amounts, and any deliveries you pay for. The form explains each one.
We do not sell it. It is only relevant to NHS procurements that started before 1 April 2027. If an NHS tender asks for one before then, NHS England publishes the template on its website.
