Who can use CPET?

CPET is designed for the following types of public sector bodies and their suppliers:

• Central government departments
• Executive agencies
• Local government
• Non-departmental public bodies
• Direct suppliers to central and local government.

The UK Government, which is funding these services, restricts the use of the CPET Helpline service to the above categories. Private companies who are not eligible to use the free CPET Helpline or attend the training workshops can get advice on legal and sustainable timber procurement from a number of other organisations .

The workshops are available to a slightly wider audience. Full details of eligibility can be downloaded here.

All information and documents provided to CPET are treated with strict confidentiality.  The CPET response provided to the enquirer is not shared with anyone else unless CPET is specifically requested to do so by the enquirer.
