The Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment is an online tool which enables companies to engage with the NHS on their sustainability journey and to understand how best to align with the health service's Net Zero ambitions.

Suppliers on existing NHS Supply Chain Frameworks are required to submit the Evergreen Assessment by 1st February 2024, and it will become a requirement for suppliers who are bidding on any future NHS Supply Chain Frameworks. The aim is to replace the current Carbon Waste and Water Reduction Assessment. Please note that at present, this requirement is only for NHS Supply Chain, not for NHS England more broadly.

To aid you with this assessment, we will be hosting a webinar for members with Daphne De Leener from the NHS Sustainable Procurement team. The session will cover the purpose of the assessments and the benefits it can bring, and there will also be a live demonstration of the system.
