We help civils, groundworks and structural sub-contractors get tender-ready on carbon — so they score full marks in the section that’s now deciding who wins Tier 1 and framework work.
We know how it feels to lose a bid you should have won.
You’ve got the people, the plant and the track record. Losing work on a carbon section you didn’t see coming is the kind of thing that keeps a Commercial Director up at night. It shouldn’t happen — and it doesn’t have to. We get subs like yours tender-ready, and we’ve done it.
A 60-year demolition sub-contractor — we built the Carbon Reduction Plan behind their net-zero targets.
Guided to PAS 2080 — the standard Tier 1s and clients like National Highways now expect.
A developer net-zero programme — so we understand the buyer’s side of the chain too.
Fluent in what assessors actually score — PPN 006 (the current Carbon Reduction Plan requirement), PAS 2080 and ISO 14064 — with verified footprints and PAS 2080 systems delivered right across the infrastructure supply chain.
A Tier 1 PQQ is scored on carbon now, not just price and programme. The big clients push net-zero requirements down the chain, and the Tier 1s pass them straight to you. A sharp price won’t save a bid if you can’t evidence a verified footprint, a published Carbon Reduction Plan or PAS 2080.
Scrambling to answer the carbon questions every time a PQQ lands.
Losing scored points — or a framework place — to a competitor with better paperwork.
Worried an unverified ‘net zero’ claim could invite a greenwashing challenge.
It has a name — the tender-readiness gap. And it’s costing you work you’re qualified to win.
Take the 3-minute Tender Readiness Score and see exactly where you stand — and your three biggest gaps.
On a free Tender Readiness Call we pinpoint what’s missing and the fastest route to fix it before your next bid.
We deliver it with you — verified footprint, published Carbon Reduction Plan, PAS 2080 — so your next PQQ scores full marks.
Plain English, no jargon. You only ever claim what’s genuinely true. Built to the standards Tier 1s and clients like National Highways actually assess.
Yes. Tier 1s flow these carbon requirements down to their supply chain regardless of your size. If you bid for their work, the carbon section applies to you.
Good start. The points are won on whether it’s independently verified and whether your Carbon Reduction Plan is published — the score shows you exactly where you stand.
Usually faster than expected. The call maps the shortest route, and we sequence it around your live bids.
No — plain English, done with you, and built to what assessors actually score.
