Telent Meet the Buyer 2023: Green Solutions

Register here to join our launch webinar on 3rd May 2023

Do you have a sustainable solution that Telent and our customers could benefit from?

As a leading technology company and specialist in the design, build, support and management of the UK’s critical digital infrastructure, we are passionate about innovation that can deliver more sustainable solutions and services for us and our customers. That’s why we are inviting suppliers to tell us about their sustainability innovations and anything in the pipeline.

Our sustainability targets

Building on our sustainability achievements to date, Telent have committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). To make sure we get there, we have set ambitious targets to reduce our emissions by an average of 50%, no later than 2030.

Because almost 90% of our emissions are embedded in the supply chains of the products and services we purchase, we are kickstarting long-term innovation projects that can deliver low-carbon solutions on a whole-life basis. We want to collaborate with forward-thinking businesses that can offer innovations and ideas that will not only reduce our carbon footprint but add increased value for our customers.

What we are looking for

Telent have not only invested in building relationships with leading network and technology vendors, but partner with a diverse range of UK businesses to deliver our wide-ranging services. In FY22, we spent over £190m with micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) which was 57% of applicable spend and 66% of our suppliers.

Our virtual Meet the Buyer event is a great opportunity to find out more about Telent, what we are working on and our latest strategies. It also gives you an opportunity to showcase your innovative goods and services that can help us reduce our carbon footprint and may be considered for future contracting opportunities.

We want to evaluate the best innovations UK businesses have to offer and whether you are a start-up or national group we want to hear from you, particularly if:
