Government Departments: Procurement
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, which Government departments plan to make it a requirement in their procurement processes that potential suppliers meet net zero targets in their global operations by (a) 2045 and (b) 2050.
- Answer
-
Since October 2021, all Central Government Departments, their ALBs and Non-Departmental Public Bodies have required suppliers bidding for relevant major public procurements (of £5m or more) to commit their UK operations to achieving Net Zero by 2050. This aligns with the UK’s own legally binding Net Zero target.
