Beyond Procurement

What Beyond Procurement does

Beyond Procurement Limited is a UK-based carbon reduction and cost optimization consultancy founded in 2007 (originally as Meercat Associates, rebranded during the COVID-19 period circa 2020) that helps SMEs, enterprises and Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) measure emissions, achieve Net Zero certification, and cut procurement costs. The company is headquartered in Stretton on Dunsmore, Rugby, with satellite offices in Haywards Heath, Hove, Leeds and Burgess Hill, and operates a small founder-led team under CEO Andrew Childers.

The core offering is the Beyond2030 program, a five-stage structured journey (Measure, Plan, Reduce, Promote, Net Zero) priced on a no-upfront-cost, monthly-subscription basis, supplemented by two depth tiers: the Zero Program (12 months, Scopes 1, 2 and selected Scope 3 categories) and the Beyond Zero Program (all 15 Scope 3 categories plus full upstream/downstream supply chain analysis enabling SECR and Net Zero reporting). The Green ToolBox (GTB) is a proprietary digital platform that combines a carbon calculator, district-wide carbon mapping, and a procurement-savings engine covering energy, telecoms, water, waste, insurance and pest control with 4,000+ rewards; it is the primary digital surface and is distributed through BID partnerships. Beyond Procurement has no public API, SDK or app product, and its technology stack is described around methodology and dashboards rather than AI/ML. Adjacent offerings include bespoke procurement advisory, LoCASE grant navigation, and an Octopus EV salary sacrifice scheme.

Beyond Procurement runs a multi-channel go-to-market: direct consultative sales via free Zoho Bookings discovery consultations, a dominant channel-partner model through 100+ UK BIDs covering 300+ projects, local-authority referrals (Winchester City Council, Kent County Council), and the Green ToolBox self-serve platform for SME BID members. Revenue derives from Beyond2030 monthly subscription fees, supplier rebates and preferred-rate commissions through Green ToolBox, bespoke procurement advisory engagements, and grant-application professional service fees. The company reports £10m+ in cumulative client savings, 10,535+ tonnes of CO2e managed, and 10,000+ clients served, is privately held by its founder with no disclosed institutional funding, and operates exclusively in the UK.

Regional players

• Toitū Envirocare: New Zealand-based carbon certification and consultancy serving primarily ANZ markets. Comparable services (carbon footprinting, CEMARS/carbonreduce certification) but geographically distinct from Beyond Procurement's UK-only operation.

Direct peers

• Net Zero Now: UK carbon reduction platform and consultancy aimed at SMEs, offering measurement, reduction plans and certification. Closely comparable target market, subscription-style delivery model with human coaching, and SME focus to Beyond Procurement's Beyond2030 offering.
• Carbon Trust: UK-based carbon and sustainability advisory firm offering carbon footprinting, reduction planning and certification to businesses and the public sector. Direct peer to Beyond Procurement in SME/mid-market carbon advisory, though with significantly greater scale, brand recognition and broader reach.
• Carbon Intelligence: UK-based carbon accounting and reduction consultancy serving mid-market and enterprise clients. Direct competitor in Scope 1-3 measurement, Carbon Reduction Plan creation and supply chain decarbonisation, with a heavier enterprise mix than Beyond Procurement.

Broad incumbents

• EcoAct (Accenture): Originally an independent French carbon consultancy, now part of Accenture. Competes with Beyond Procurement across carbon strategy, measurement and offsetting, but with significantly greater scale, geographic reach and enterprise focus.
• South Pole Group: Global climate consultancy and carbon offset provider. Competes in carbon advisory and offsetting services, but with a much larger global footprint and project-finance-led approach distinct from Beyond Procurement's SME/BID distribution model.
• ClimatePartner: Germany-based climate action platform combining carbon accounting software with offset portfolio services for SMEs and enterprises. Comparable service mix (measurement, reduction, offsetting) to Beyond Procurement but software-first and with broader geographic reach.
• Deloitte Sustainability Services: Sustainability and climate practice of a Big Four firm offering strategy, reporting and decarbonisation advisory to large enterprises and the public sector. Competes for the enterprise end of Beyond Procurement's market (e.g. West Somerset Railway, Fenton Pharmaceuticals) with far greater resources and brand.

Emerging players

• Normative: Carbon accounting software platform offering automated Scope 1-3 emissions calculations for SMEs and mid-market. Represents the software-led model that competes with Beyond Procurement's human-delivered methodology on price, scale and time-to-value.
• Watershed: Carbon accounting and disclosure platform used by enterprises to measure and report emissions. Competes with Beyond Procurement's Beyond Zero program on enterprise supply chain Scope 3 measurement, but with a SaaS rather than consultancy delivery model.
