NHS Commercial Solutions is seeking to procure, through a framework agreement, a panel of suitably experienced and qualified organisations to provide expert guidance and services to NHS organisations to assist them in delivering their commitments to a greener NHS and improving the healthcare environments.

Every NHS organisation is required to publish a Carbon Reduction Plan. Many of these plans include commitments to reduce carbon emissions in the organisation's built environments.
