Purchase of Carbon Credits Survey

ORDNANCE SURVEY LIMITED · Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 29 Sept 2026, 22:33.

Opportunity overview

As a Public Corporation, OS is committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050 in light with UK Government. OS is also investigating the potential to advance this target date and is seeking to understand what that would look like with respect to earlier offsetting of residual emissions which cannot be further reduced at that time. OS wants to understand what the carbon offsetting market currently looks like, the opportunities for investment, and how integrity and risk management can be achieved. OS are interested in understanding two options for the purchase of carbon credits. Firstly, via direct investment into a carbon offset project, and secondly by contracting with a Managed Service Provider (henceforth denoted MSP). An MSP would have the role of sourcing and managing compliance, risk and integrity of carbon credits on behalf of OS. We are open to understanding more about what this contracted service would look like.
