WPPN 006: Carbon Reduction Plans for Welsh public-sector bids
The Welsh counterpart to PPN 006, set against the public sector’s Net Zero by 2030 goal. Produce a Wales-ready plan with the correct declaration and references.
What you get
A checked plan, not a blank template
The public guides explain the rules. Carbon Sorted turns those rules into a finished document: computed footprint, compliant sections, evidence trail and export-ready files.
Figures computed first
Scope 1, 2 and 3 totals are calculated from your inputs and current UK Government factors before the plan is drafted.
Six sections assembled
The output follows the required Carbon Reduction Plan structure, including baseline, current reporting, targets and sign-off.
Compliance evidence included
Each paid plan includes a PPN 006 / WPPN 006 check summary, AI-use statement and provenance log.
Ready to submit
Export a procurement-ready DOCX and PDF once the full plan is generated and unlocked.

What WPPN 006 is
WPPN 006 is the Welsh Procurement Policy Note that asks suppliers to publish a Carbon Reduction Plan when bidding for larger Welsh public-sector contracts. It is the Welsh counterpart to PPN 006 used by UK central government, and it follows the same Carbon Reduction Plan structure. The difference is the context it sits in: the Welsh public sector is working towards Net Zero by 2030, a decade ahead of the wider UK 2050 commitment.
How it differs from PPN 006
In practice the document you produce is very similar. You still report Scope 1, Scope 2 and the required Scope 3 categories, still set reduction targets, still describe your carbon reduction projects, and still sign off at director level. What changes is the framing and the references: a Wales plan cites the Welsh policy, reflects the public-sector Net Zero by 2030 goal, and points to gov.wales rather than UK central-government guidance. If you bid across both England and Wales, you may need a plan that speaks to each regime.
Same requirements, same pass-or-fail gate
As with PPN 006, this is a selection requirement rather than a scored one. A compliant, published plan keeps you in the process; a missing or incomplete plan can exclude your bid. The mechanics matter more than the prose: the correct scopes, current conversion factors, the required sections and a valid sign-off. Our guides cover how the emissions scopes work and the sections a plan must contain.
Produce a Wales-ready plan
When you start a plan with Carbon Sorted, you pick your procurement regime. Choose WPPN 006 and the plan is produced with the Wales-cited declaration, a compliance view tuned to the Welsh context, and gov.wales references on the document. The figures are computed from the current DESNZ and DEFRA conversion factors either way, and the plan is checked for compliance before you export it. Same price, same workflow. You can start from the template and preview a section free on your own data.
Common questions
How is WPPN 006 different from PPN 006?
The Carbon Reduction Plan structure is the same. WPPN 006 applies to Welsh public-sector procurement, cites the Welsh policy and references gov.wales, and sits against the Welsh public sector’s Net Zero by 2030 goal rather than the UK-wide 2050 commitment.
Can Carbon Sorted produce a Wales-specific plan?
Yes. When you start a plan you choose your procurement regime. Selecting WPPN 006 produces the Wales-cited declaration, a compliance view tuned to the Welsh context and gov.wales references, at the same price and through the same workflow as a PPN 006 plan.
Do I need separate plans for England and Wales?
If you bid across both, you may want a plan that addresses each regime, since the citations and Net Zero context differ. You can generate a plan for either regime from the same account.
