PPN 016 Carbon Contract Management
PPN 016 Carbon Contract Management: Environmental Performance Excellence
Master Carbon Obligations
Government contracts now include standard carbon reduction clauses with ongoing monitoring requirements. NHS frameworks are particularly demanding with 2045 net zero targets. Many suppliers only discover these complexities after signing, creating headaches that can threaten contract renewal.
We eliminate the guesswork. Our contract management approach ensures you consistently exceed carbon targets without operational disruption. The result: happy clients, smooth renewals, and strong references for future bids.
The Contract Carbon Reality
Modern government contracts aren’t just about delivery, they include escalating carbon targets, monthly reporting, and performance penalties. The procurement team that approved your environmental commitments during the tender will expect you to deliver on every promise.
We handle the complexity so you can focus on what you do best. Our monitoring systems track everything automatically, flag potential issues early, and keep your client relationships strong.
