Public sector procurement requirements are evolving, with organisations increasingly expected to demonstrate credible, measurable progress on carbon reduction.
Join Sustainable Energy First’s upcoming Climate Resilience webinar to explore what this means for suppliers and how to prepare.
Is your Carbon Reduction Plan ready for the next stage of public sector procurement?
That’s the focus of Sustainable Energy First’s upcoming Climate Resilience: Will Your Carbon Reduction Plan Still Win Tenders in 2027? webinar, taking place on 24 September.
The practical session will explore the latest developments affecting suppliers to the NHS, central government, defence and the wider public sector, and what organisations can do now to strengthen their procurement readiness.

Carbon Reduction Plans (CRPs) have become an important part of public sector procurement, helping buyers assess how suppliers are managing and reducing their greenhouse gas emissions.
But procurement expectations are evolving. Organisations may increasingly need to demonstrate more than a completed CRP. Robust emissions data, credible reduction targets and evidence of progress are becoming increasingly important when demonstrating that climate commitments are backed by action.
For suppliers bidding for public sector contracts, this makes carbon management an increasingly important part of procurement readiness.
What will the webinar cover?
Hosted by Richard Bilbee and Crina Pricop, Sustainable Energy First’s Climate Action specialists, the webinar will look at how requirements are developing and what suppliers can do to prepare.
The session will cover:
- The latest developments affecting Carbon Reduction Plans and public sector procurement.
- What changing expectations could mean for NHS and other public sector suppliers.
- The risks of relying on a basic CRP without a wider carbon management strategy.
- The practical steps organisations can take to strengthen their emissions data, targets and reduction plans.
- How stronger carbon management can support both procurement readiness and wider net zero ambitions.
Whether your organisation already has a Carbon Reduction Plan or is preparing for future public sector tenders, the session will provide practical guidance on what to consider now.
