Free Webinar: Understanding PPN 06/21: Producing a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan
2025-10-10 12:00 - 13:00 | Online
PPN 06/21 sets out the requirement for suppliers bidding on major central government contracts to submit a Carbon Reduction Plan and commit to achieving Net Zero by 2050. But what does this mean in practical terms — especially for SMEs?
Hosted by Turner & Townsend, this session brings together SME contractors and public sector clients to explore how PPN 06/21 is reshaping procurement and what support is available to help small businesses respond effectively.
From developing credible carbon reduction plans to understanding how clients are embedding carbon requirements into tenders, we’ll offer clear, practical advice from both sides of the procurement table. This is a chance for SME suppliers to prepare for future bids — and for clients to engage suppliers in a meaningful, constructive way that supports net zero goals.
What you’ll gain:
A breakdown of what PPN 06/21 requires and how it applies to organisations
Practical support and tools available to help SMEs develop Carbon Reduction Plans
Insights into how clients are reflecting carbon requirements in tender documents
An opportunity to strengthen collaboration between clients and suppliers through Constructing Excellence Manchester’s network
Whether you’re a contractor looking to stay eligible for public work, or a client aiming to embed net zero in procurement, this session delivers essential insight and real value.
Once you have got a ticket we will send a link over to you for the webinar.

Skills shortages in Construction
2023-09-14 08:00 - 10:00 | University of Bolton, Room Y0-02, Greater Manchester Business School, Great Moor Street, Bolton, BL1 1SW
In the aftermath of the 2009 recession, the industry was struggling with 14,000 job vacancies that remained unfilled. Fast forward to 2022, and this figure has surged to a daunting 45,000. The situation is further compounded by an aging workforce and a dearth of new entrants, suggesting no imminent improvement.
And that’s just taking in account the skills for today’s industry – as digitalisation grows and the implementation of ambitious initiatives like the decarbonisation of major estates such as the NHS and education, the call for fresh skills and a more sustainable construction approach becomes ever more pressing.
In our September seminar, we will hear from Nicola Hodkinson, the owner and director of Seddon Construction Ltd. Nicola takes immense pride in the fact that over 10% of her workforce is engaged in ‘earn and learn’ contracts. Her mission is to galvanize the broader industry, spanning from the supply chain to clients, to proactively explore avenues for enhancing and upskilling our workforce.

Bringing the Dutyholding Regime and Competence to Life
Construction Product Regulation, Certification, Warranty and Testing
Liability and Enforcement Under the Building Safety Act; and
Achieving Low or Zero Carbon in Practice.

Each session will see expert speakers come together and collaborate to share best practice, delve into the key aspects of new legislation, and explain what these changes mean for the construction sector. Concluding each session will be a lively debate in the form of a Q&A session, which will see expert panels interacting with a wide range of construction professionals, allowing the industry to delve deeper into the issues that are affecting the whole of the construction sector, as well as identifying opportunities for the future.

Energy House 2.0 Tour
The conference will conclude with a unique opportunity to tour Salford University’s Energy House 2.0, the world leading energy performance test facility located on the University campus. As the largest research facility of its kind, each of the two environmental chambers can accommodate two complete detached houses enabling companies to innovate and develop low carbon technologies for our future climate, today.

Diversity and Inclusion in the construction industry …. attracting and retaining talent.
2019-06-12 09:00 - 11:00 | Towers & Hamlins LLP, 55 Princess Street , Manchester , M2 4EW, United Kingdom
Those in the construction sector often suggest that Diversity and Inclusion is perceived as Health and Safety was a couple of decades ago, recognised as being a valuable attribute but not universally accepted as core to the value of businesses and the sector. The tide is changing and more and more leaders expect their employees, partners and suppliers to not only get the business case for inclusion but drive inclusion.
The time to embrace this is now, with many of our public sector clients looking to us to demonstrate how they are meeting their equality objectives, the unattractive reading of gender pay gap reports, the rumours of a race pay gap reporting requirement and the imperative to find the talented workforce of the future. Our speaker, from built asset design & consultancy firm Arcadis, will explore the value of good employment practices in attracting and retaining talent and the role each of us play in creating an inclusive place to work.
We are also joined by Jane Kenyon, the founder of Girls Out Loud CIC, who will talk about how the organisation works with school-age girls to raise their self esteem, ambition and awareness of opportunities for career development.
