Carbon Reduction Plan Check
4 credits / call (8 on the free plan)A supplier's published Carbon Reduction Plan read against the PPN 006 template, part by part.
Finds the plan from a homepage or reads its URL; eight template parts found / not found / couldn't tell; which Scope 3 categories are reported; the plan's date; the gaps.
Since 24 February 2025 a supplier bidding for a central-government contract over £5 million a year must have published a Carbon Reduction Plan on its UK website, to the government's template: a commitment to net zero by 2050, a baseline year and the current year in tCO2e, Scope 1 and 2, Scope 3 categories 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9, carbon reduction projects, a director's sign-off, updated within a year (PPN 006 and its technical standard; the NHS asks the same of its suppliers). This endpoint finds the plan from the homepage (PPN 006 asks for it to be signposted there) or reads the plan's own address, and says which parts are there and which aren't. A check of the plan's form, said plainly: it can't say whether the figures are right.

Why developers pick it
The template's parts, one by one
Eight named parts from PPN 006's technical standard, each found, not found or couldn't tell, with a short note.
Found from the homepage
PPN 006 asks for the plan to be signposted there; the check starts where the buyer would.
Form, not truth, and says so
Completeness against the template, never a judgement on the emissions figures.
