Guideline for working towards Net Zero with Suppliers
UKUPC have developed a guideline based on Procurement Policy Note (PPN006 and 06/21) and accompanying schedules. It describes the process that will be rolled out across framework agreement suppliers and includes templates for Carbon Reduction Plans for suppliers and an evaluation tool.
Members are encouraged to align this practice with non-framework agreement suppliers, as we drive towards achieving Net Zero. You can access this information via the buttons below. For more information or support using these tools, please contact procurement@nwupc.ac.uk.

The Carbon Toolkit Explained
The toolkit expands on the requirements of Procurement Policy Note (PPN) 06/21 and provides a compliant template that stretches suppliers a little further. The Carbon Toolkit provides a clear separation between using a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) for procurement compliance vs gathering input into carbon accounting.
Priority Suppliers are asked to provide:
- A commitment to external verification of Net Zero Targets
- All material scope 3 categories
- Turnover
- Methodology disclosure
- Intensity metrics
- Offset trajectory
- Product-level emissions commitment.
The CRP Evaluation Checklist will help you to assess carbon reduction plans received from suppliers. It provides a strong governance model for evaluation including:
- Compliance
- Credibility
- Best practice
- Contract management.
As your data improves, so your reliance on a spend-based methodology reduces. It’s a journey requiring sure, steady steps to 2050.
