About this tender
NHS England is procuring a third-party provider with expertise and experience in Product Carbon Footprinting (PCF) in the health sector. The provider will support the selection, tailoring and testing of the technical PCF requirements for the 2028 milestone of the NHS Supplier Roadmap, which would require carbon footprints for individual products supplied to the NHS. The milestone's scope is focused on high-emission areas, particularly pharmaceuticals, medical technologies and digital. The work is required by the end of Q4 2026/27 (January to March 2027). It involves working with a technical reference group (TRG) of footprinting experts to identify existing PCF methods and standards, assessing their alignment with NHS policy intentions, recommending options and how they could be practically applied in the identified areas, and testing them with suppliers using real data. The provider will also report learnings from this testing. NHS England notes that no single methodology currently exists for measuring product-level emissions, so further work is needed to define the technical approach. The project is intended to support NHS England's statutory climate change duties under the Climate Change Act 2008 and Environment Act 2021, help the NHS team and local stakeholders prioritise actions on supply chain emissions, and identify opportunities for UK innovation and growth and improved supply resilience.
