What the notice says

LUPC is looking to retender the Carbon Offsetting and Validation Services framework which is a national offering to all members of UKUPC. The retender will be the second iteration of the offering. We are seeking feedback from the market as to the best way to achieve Member objectives for reducing carbon emissions with a view to being cost effective and without risk to UKUPC Members. We are also looking to strengthen our offering for Members on Scope 2 and 3 reporting, understanding and developing their internal processes and procedures to ensure Members are fully cognisant of their obligations to reduce carbon emissions and fully realise a net zero contribution. Interested parties should complete the feedback form here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/w7aHWnbyVL Please note we have not included a value against this PME notice as this will become clearer nearer to tender stage.

Further information will be given at tender stage.
