Platform Overview
Carbon Heroes turns a site and location into an AI-optimised, place-based tree-planting strategy, valued against recognised ecosystem-service benchmarks and mapped to procurement frameworks, bid-ready in minutes.
Features
Carbon Heroes runs five capabilities as one seamless platform: AI-powered portfolio optimisation, scientific ecosystem-service valuation, procurement framework alignment, bid-ready narrative generation, and real-world tree delivery, turning a site and postcode into a defensible social value number in minutes.
Every output is mapped directly onto the framework a bid is actually scored against, TOMs, PPN 002, or a council's own social value matrix, so the number a supplier submits is one an evaluator can check rather than dispute.
BidBooster carries a winning commitment past the bid stage: once a contract is awarded, the platform's delivery network turns the pledge into real trees, planted and tracked through council partnerships, so the number in the bid still means something a year later.
Five Capabilities, One Platform
Portfolio optimisation, scientific valuation, framework alignment, narrative generation, and real-world delivery run as one seamless platform instead of five separate tools a supplier would otherwise have to stitch together.
How It Works
UK public-sector tenders increasingly score a "social value" component, but suppliers have had no reliable way to turn a sustainability commitment into a number that survives scrutiny at evaluation stage. Vague claims get challenged or discounted, and generic tree-planting pledges rarely map to the framework a bid is actually scored against. Carbon Heroes closes that gap: a supplier enters a site and location, and the platform's AI generates a tree-planting portfolio matched to that specific place, valued using recognised ecosystem-service benchmarks, and mapped directly onto whichever framework the bid is scored against, TOMs, PPN 002, or a council's own social value matrix. The narrative comes back bid-ready in under 10 minutes, and the commitment doesn't stop at the page: BidBooster carries it from bid to contract award, and the trees are then actually delivered and tracked through council partnerships rather than left as a promise on paper. A verified Bristol deployment, built with AWS, Route 101, and Earthwatch Europe, put that pipeline to work end to end: 600 native trees planted, 200+ volunteer hours, and £100K in measured social value delivered.
