What the buyer wants

• Support selecting, adapting and testing a product carbon footprint method suitable for NHS supply chains, based on existing standards • Work with a technical reference group of footprinting experts, assess existing methods against NHS policy aims, and recommend practical options • Test the chosen approach with suppliers using real data, then report the findings and lessons learned

Likely requirements

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

Lack of verifiable PCF experience in health or NHS supply chains, or no proven ability to test methods with real supplier data within the timeframe, would likely rule out a small business.
