Understanding PPN 06/21: Carbon Reduction in Public Procurement – Practical Guidance for construction SMEs
PPN 06/21 sets out the requirement for suppliers bidding on major central government contracts to submit a Carbon Reduction Plan and commit to achieving Net Zero by 2050. But what does this mean in practical terms — especially for SMEs?
Hosted by Turner & Townsend, this session brings together SME contractors and public sector clients to explore how PPN 06/21 is reshaping procurement and what support is available to help small businesses respond effectively.
From developing credible carbon reduction plans to understanding how clients are embedding carbon requirements into tenders, we’ll offer clear, practical advice from both sides of the procurement table. This is a chance for SME suppliers to prepare for future bids — and for clients to engage suppliers in a meaningful, constructive way that supports net zero goals.
What you’ll gain:
- A breakdown of what PPN 06/21 requires and how it applies to organisations
- Practical support and tools available to help SMEs develop Carbon Reduction Plans
- Insights into how clients are reflecting carbon requirements in tender documents
- An opportunity to strengthen collaboration between clients and suppliers through Constructing Excellence Manchester's network
Whether you’re a contractor looking to stay eligible for public work, or a client aiming to embed net zero in procurement, this session delivers essential insight and real value.
Once you have bought a ticket we will send a link over to you for the webinar.
