Are you aware of the impact the UK public sector’s net-zero objectives can have on your procurement decisions?

Don’t risk losing opportunities because your environmental policies aren’t clear enough. Let us help you showcase your commitment to net zero and gain a competitive advantage.

The UK government is on a mission to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, a legally binding target set by the Climate Change Act 2008 (2050 Target Amendment) Order 2019. This commitment is reshaping procurement, placing a strong emphasis on sustainable sourcing and partnerships with carbon-conscious organisations.

Now, suppliers equipped with Carbon Reduction Plans (CRPs) are viewed as more attractive partners for public sector buyers. As we, Tender Response help SME’s in all aspects for Public Sector Tendering, it will be no surprise to hear that we have an offering ready that does exactly what it says on the tin, Green Response.

Introduced in 2021, the requirement for CRPs ensures that central government and NHS tenders over £5 million are awarded to suppliers dedicated to sustainability. While not mandatory for lower-value tenders, having CRPs can significantly boost your standing with buyers who prioritise environmental objectives.

CRPs are official documents, approved by your board of directors (or equivalent management body) and made publicly available. This demonstrates your unwavering commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. They only need to be crafted once and updated annually thereafter.

Creating a robust Green Response involves adhering to specific guidelines. Our team of consultants is ready to assist you in developing a plan that includes all the necessary details, accurately reflecting your sustainability goals.

Why choose our Green Response development service?
