Your tenders are starting to ask about carbon.

Public contracts over £5 million a year already require a Carbon Reduction Plan, and big private buyers are pushing the same demands down their supply chains. You cannot build a credible position in the two weeks you have to bid. Before the Bid shows you what to capture and how to be ready before you need it.

Carbon, tenders and how to get ready

Before the Bid: carbon reporting for tenders

Carbon is now a scored part of the bid

Under Procurement Policy Note 06/21, a published Carbon Reduction Plan is mandatory to bid for UK central government contracts over £5 million a year. And every large company chasing its own Net Zero target is asking its suppliers for carbon data, because your emissions are their Scope 3. The sustainability section is no longer an afterthought. It is increasingly a pass-or-fail gateway.

You cannot build a baseline during a bid
bid-ready level TENDER READY 12 months of data
Start before the bid
Measure month by month and you walk in with a baseline that stands up.
bid-ready level TENDER ? NO BASELINE 2 weeks to respond
Start at the bid
A fortnight is not enough to create a credible position. It scores badly.

The guide explains what carbon reporting actually covers, the difference between Scope 1, 2 and 3, exactly what data you need to capture, and how Catalyst, using the EaaSi Carbon platform, builds and keeps your baseline current. No jargon, just a clear plan.

Through the Amaris Group, we cover the whole journey: measure, report, reduce and offset, joined up under one roof.

What’s inside the guide

The carbon question on the tender

Where the requirements come from: PPN 06/21, the £5m rule, and Scope 3 supply-chain pressure.

What carbon reporting covers

CO2e, the GHG Protocol, and what Scope 1, 2 and 3 actually mean, in plain English.

What you need to capture

The real data sources for each scope, from gas kWh and fleet fuel to spend, waste and travel.

Why you can’t do it at bid time

A credible baseline needs twelve months of data and sign-off. It cannot be built backwards.

One baseline, every requirement

How the same data feeds SECR, a Carbon Reduction Plan, Net Zero and the 2026 UK standards.

Measure, report, reduce, offset
