Thousands of UK small businesses are losing government contracts because they cannot produce a Carbon Reduction Plan. PPN 006 made it a pass/fail requirement — and most SMBs have no affordable way to comply. CarbonPass was built to close that gap.
In 2025, I was helping a small manufacturing company bid for an NHS procurement framework. They had 12 employees, a solid track record, and competitive pricing. Their bid was rejected before evaluation — because they didn't have a published Carbon Reduction Plan.
That rejection was the catalyst for CarbonPass. I discovered that PPN 006 had created a compliance cliff: thousands of UK SMBs were being locked out of government contracts worth over £300 billion annually, simply because they couldn't produce a document that larger competitors had consultants to write.
