Your customers are about to ask for your carbon data, are you ready?
If you're selling to large companies or the public sector, regulation means you're about to be asked for carbon data. For many Milton Keynes businesses, it's already happening, and SMEs risk losing contracts when they can't respond with credible reporting.
- Carbon Reduction Plans (PPN 006) are required for UK government contracts
- NHS suppliers will face Carbon Reduction Plan requirements from April 2027
- Enterprise tenders increasingly ask for credible carbon data
MK Carbon Ready gives Milton Keynes businesses a free route to get started with tracking and reporting their carbon emissions, before it costs you a contract.

Win work and cut costs by measuring your carbon footprint
A free briefing for Milton Keynes businesses on what buyers now expect, where the savings sit, and how to get a credible first carbon baseline without the cost of a consultant.
Large customers and the public sector are increasingly asking suppliers for carbon data. For UK government contracts, that can mean producing a Carbon Reduction Plan under PPN 006. NHS carbon requirements tighten further from April 2027, while many large businesses are asking suppliers for similar information.
This practical session is for owners, directors, finance, operations and bid teams. You do not need any sustainability knowledge or experience.

Common questions answered
Your business must be registered and primarily operating in Milton Keynes, be privately or independently operated (public bodies and wholly publicly funded organisations are not eligible), and not have already claimed a licence under the programme. Full details are in the participant terms and conditions.
There's no catch and no cost to participants. The programme is fully funded by Milton Keynes City Council's Green Business Fund. Your licence gives you 12 months of platform access from activation, and there is no obligation to continue afterwards.
TrackZero Lite is our entry-level tier: self-serve carbon measurement across scope 1, 2 and 3, available free to up to 1,000 Milton Keynes businesses. The TrackZero Sustainability Suite goes further, covering emissions measurement and carbon reduction planning for up to three sites, with a verified GHG Protocol-aligned baseline and the outputs needed to meet PPN 006 and NHS Roadmap requirements. The Suite is free for the first 50 eligible Milton Keynes businesses to register.
Businesses who claim a full Sustainability Suite licence are upgraded to the Grow tier, including the features and restrictions of that tier as listed on our pricing page. If your business needs a higher tier, or any additional services or add-ons, you can upgrade and cover the difference at your own cost.
Licences are available during the programme window (September 2026 to September 2027) and allocated in the order businesses register. The 50 fully funded Sustainability Suite licences go to the first 50 eligible businesses to sign up, so if you want one, register early.

No. TrackZero is built for self-serve use, so you can measure, report and reduce your emissions without a consultant or any prior sustainability knowledge. If you'd like extra support, we can connect you with qualified sustainability consultants in our partner network, at your own cost.
Your funded licence runs for 12 months from the date you activate it. When it expires, free access ends. If you want to continue using TrackZero, you can subscribe at our standard rates, but there is no obligation to do so.
