Worried about the pressure to remain competitive given increasing NHS supplier sustainability requirements?
Kintera specialises in the Evergreen Assessment for NHS Supply Chain
Over 71% of the NHS carbon footprint now comes from purchased goods and services, creating intense pressure on every supplier to prove rapid emissions reduction.
Evergreen submission is already mandatory for NHS Supply Chain frameworks and NHS England Medicines tenders.
From 6 April 2026, every NHS Supply Chain tender will require suppliers to hold Evergreen Level 1.
The NHS will stop buying from suppliers who cannot demonstrate Net Zero alignment by 2030, a shift expected to remove 9,446 ktCO₂e per year from the system. Failure to comply means losing NHS market access entirely.
From April 2027, every supplier must report global Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, not just UK operations, massively expanding reporting complexity and risk. Those who delay will struggle to catch up.
How Kintera support
We guide suppliers through the Evergreen Assessment, turning complex NHS sustainability requirements into a simple, confident workflow.
We build fully compliant Evergreen submissions that strengthen tender readiness and remove the stress, confusion and delays that often hold suppliers back.
We equip organisations with the strategy, structure and evidence they need to demonstrate sustainability maturity and stay competitive in NHS procurement.
PHL Group accelerated their progress with a tailored Kintera Evergreen Assessment Roadmap designed to reach Level 3 in three years.
Your path begins with a free gap analysis.
Let’s talk.
“Kintera made the NHS Evergreen process so much clearer for us. Joanna quickly identified the gaps in our approach and helped us build a structure that felt achievable and aligned with NHS expectations. Her guidance was practical, collaborative and grounded in what suppliers actually need to demonstrate. Thanks to her support, we now have a confident, credible sustainability position that strengthens our place in the NHS supply chain.”
