Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the (1) numbers, and (2) total values, of public contracts entered into by government departments, their executive agencies, and non-departmental public bodies with an anticipated contract value above £5 million (excluding VAT) per annum, that are (a) subject to Procurement Policy Note 06/21, and (b) not subject to Procurement Policy Note 06/21.

The Cabinet Office does not hold the reporting or recording of contract level greenhouse gas emissions for the public sector. Individual departmental emissions (including contributions made by public contracts) are recorded via the Greening Government commitments (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/greening-government-commitments).

By the end of May 2021, 50 commercial agreements above the threshold of £5m per annum had applied Procurement Policy Notice 06/21, with a total value of £82 billion over the life of those agreements.
