Why this matters
PPN 006 requires every supplier bidding for government contracts over £5m — and all NHS contracts regardless of value — to publish a Carbon Reduction Plan. Without one, your bid is automatically excluded before it is even scored.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Carbon Reduction Plan?
If you bid for government contracts over £5m or any NHS contract, yes. PPN 006 makes it a pass/fail requirement — your bid is excluded without one.
How long does it take?
About 20 minutes with CarbonPass. You need your energy bills and a rough idea of your business travel and fleet fuel.
Does my CRP need to be published on my website?
Yes — PPN 006 requires your Carbon Reduction Plan to be publicly accessible on your company website. CarbonPass provides a public Carbon Passport page you can link to in any tender.
What if I do not have historical emissions data?
No problem. You can use your current year as your baseline. CarbonPass helps you estimate where data is missing using industry benchmarks.
How does CarbonPass Business plan handle multi-site reporting?
CarbonPass Business plan lets you track emissions separately for each site and consolidate them into one Carbon Reduction Plan. You can manage up to 5 sites with team access for up to 10 members.
Do I need a separate CRP for each business location?
No. Under PPN 06/21, you submit one CRP covering all your operational sites. CarbonPass Business automatically consolidates emissions across all your locations.
How much does multi-site carbon reporting cost?
CarbonPass Business plan is £399 per year, which includes multi-site tracking, team access, and consolidated CRP generation. This is significantly less than hiring a consultant at £2,000-5,000 per site.
