## Summary

The procurement process for the tender titled "Accelerate Greener practice in emergency departments in England" was completed by NHS England. The tender falls under the category of healthcare services (CPV code: 85100000) and involves implementing practices to reduce carbon emissions in emergency departments in England. The contract value is £83,000 GBP, with an award date of 27th September 2022. The tender used an open procedure below threshold, with a tender period ending on 31st August 2022 and a contract period from 3rd October 2022 to 31st March 2023.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses in the healthcare, social research, and consultancy services sectors to contribute to NHS England's sustainability goals. Businesses that can provide tailored support, guidance, and resources to achieve net zero carbon emissions in emergency departments are well-suited to compete. With clear steps outlined in the framework, businesses can aid emergency departments in meeting the NHS targets and demonstrate a commitment to environmental sustainability.

## Notice

Healthcare is directly responsible for 5% of the UK's carbon emissions. To tackle this, in 2020 the NHS agreed the following targets: * For direct emissions (the NHS Carbon Footprint) to reach net zero by 2040, with an ambition to reach an 80% reduction by 2028 to 2032. * For the emissions influenced by the NHS e.g. purchased energy (the NHS Carbon Footprint Plus) to be net zero by 2045, with an ambition to reach an 80% reduction by 2036 to 2039. In a fast-paced and demanding environment with a very high patient flow, it is critical that all staff working in the Emergency Department have access to clear and simple guidance and support to ensure their department is working towards the NHS net zero target. We anticipate that a framework, with clear evidence-based steps on the actions to be taken to make an emergency department a net zero ED, will be needed to meet this objective. It is likely that tailored support and further resources to help emergency departments adopt this framework will also be needed, along with online reporting tools for emergency departments to be able to review and update progress in an easy manner.
