## Summary

NHS England has successfully completed a procurement process for a consultancy contract titled "Medicines Net Zero - understanding supply chain considerations & priorities". This initiative falls within the services industry, aimed at aiding the health and care system in England to meet government targets for net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The contract, valued at £95,000, involved a direct procurement method through a single tender action, with the service period commencing on 22 November 2021 and concluding on 28 January 2022. The successful supplier is Deloitte MCS Limited, and the award notice was published on 9 February 2022.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for consultancy firms specialised in environmental sustainability, health services, and supply chain management. Businesses with expertise in climate change strategy, carbon footprint reduction, or the health sector would be particularly well-placed to participate in future tenders of this nature. Engaging with government contracts like this one could help firms expand their presence in the public health sector while contributing to the broader goal of achieving sustainability in healthcare.

## Notice

The climate emergency is a health emergency, and the UK government has committed to reaching net zero carbon by 2050. This means significantly reducing emissions as well as off-setting using carbon capture. As the health and care system in England is responsible for an estimated 4-5% of the country's carbon footprint, there is a major role for the NHS to play in supporting the government's net zero commitments. NHSEI is seeking short term external consultancy support to ensure continued progression of NHS Net Zero ambitions whilst recruitment to a substantive Medicines Net Zero Team continues.
