Greenhouse Gas Calculator System DPS
Framework Description
The Greenhouse Gas Calculator System DPS (TUCO reference CAT11069-TU) gives members access to systems that measure and report carbon emissions, including for catering operations. TUCO is the contracting authority. It is a single-lot dynamic purchasing system that started on 1 March 2024 and has been extended from 28 February 2026 to 29 February 2028. This framework is used by Crescent Purchasing, APUC, SUPC and NWUPC.
Context & Use Case
TUCO member institutions with carbon reporting obligations use it to buy software that calculates emissions across their operations, along with related advice. Call-offs are by mini-competition only, and suppliers set their prices at that stage rather than from a fixed schedule. The results support net zero plans and annual sustainability reporting.
Scope of Services
Greenhouse gas calculator software and systems Carbon emissions reporting tools Associated consultancy and advisory services
Lots
Single lot
Who Can Apply
Carbon accounting software providers and sustainability consultancies with emissions reporting tools. As a live DPS, it accepts new suppliers throughout its term, so you can apply now through TUCO's In-Tend e-tendering portal.
Buyer Benefits
Institutions can compare carbon tools through mini-competitions, and new suppliers can join at any time, so the market stays current as reporting methods change. Including advisory services helps sustainability teams with limited resources set up their reporting, and the DPS is free for members to use, saving them a full software tender of their own.
Next Steps
Register on TUCO's In-Tend portal and apply to join the DPS. Prepare product information, data security and accessibility evidence, methodology alignment with recognised GHG reporting standards, and university or public sector references. Once admitted, respond to members' mini-competitions with clear implementation plans and pricing, since prices are set at each call-off.
