Carbon Reduction Plans (CRPs) Explained for Tendering

25 Feb 2026

Environmental sustainability is no longer optional in public procurement. Across the UK, contracting authorities are embedding carbon reduction requirements into tender processes, making environmental transparency a formal condition of doing business with government. One of the most significant developments in this area is the requirement for suppliers to publish and submit a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP). But what exactly does a CRP involve, when is it mandatory and how does it influence tender evaluation? Understanding these requirements is now essential for any organisation bidding for public sector contracts.

But what does green procurement actually involve and why does it matter in today’s tendering landscape?
