In plain English

NHS England wants a specialist firm to help work out how to measure the carbon footprint of individual products bought by the NHS, starting with pharmaceuticals, medical technology and digital products. The firm would help choose and test an existing measurement method, then report what was learned, with the work due by the end of Q4 26/27.

What the buyer wants

• Advise on and select existing carbon footprinting methods and standards, and check how well they fit NHS policy goals • Work with a technical reference group of experts and test the chosen approach with real supplier data in high-emission product areas • Produce recommendations and a report on what was learned, in time for the 2028 supplier decarbonisation milestone

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The main barrier is a lack of demonstrable, hands-on product carbon footprinting expertise in the health sector, combined with the ability to run supplier data testing and deliver the work by the end of Q4 26/27.

How to bid
