UK Green Infrastructure Procurement: Accelerating Public Sector Decarbonisation Through Strategic Delivery

As the UK government commits to its 2050 net-zero target, public sector procurement plays a critical role in funding and delivering low-carbon infrastructure. Current government spend includes local energy retrofits, solar panel and heat pump installations, EV charging networks, public estate decarbonisation, and nature-based climate adaptation initiatives.

Key programmes include the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, Heat Network Zoning, and Green Heat Network Fund, administered by departments such as DESNZ, DEFRA, and BEIS (now part of DfE and DESNZ). Councils and universities are increasingly leveraging these frameworks to procure sustainable construction, low-energy retrofits, and carbon reduction technologies.

Through Atlas⁰⁷ | Build and Atlas⁰⁷ | Industries, we deliver resilient net-zero infrastructure—from low-emissions retrofits to modular solar deployment. Our integrated teams support feasibility studies, site engineering, procurement, and installation—advancing government climate targets through speed, compliance, and long-term asset performance.
