National Sustainability Lead, NACF (National Association of Construction Frameworks)

Sustainability and carbon reduction have never been more central to the UK’s public procurement strategy, particularly in the construction sector, where environmental impact, energy performance, and social value outcomes are under intense scrutiny. As the UK Government drives forward with its legally binding net zero commitments and climate targets, public sector construction projects are being tasked with leading by example.

With the introduction of the Procurement Act 2023, the legal framework underpinning these obligations has shifted significantly. For suppliers, this means understanding not just what buyers are asking for, but why and how procurement priorities are changing in line with broader environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.

This exclusive webinar, co-hosted by Tracker and Procurement Act Live, will feature expert insights from Mike Raven, Sustainability Lead at the National Association of Construction Frameworks (NACF). Drawing from real-world examples, Mike will explore how sustainability is being embedded into public construction contracts, how suppliers can meet carbon reduction expectations, and how the Procurement Act is accelerating these trends.

Whether you are a seasoned public sector contractor or an SME looking to enter the market, this webinar will provide critical guidance on aligning your organisation with current and future sustainability standards in procurement.
