Continued success on NHS Shared Business Services framework agreement

The four-year framework agreement, running to 2027, aims to provide the NHS and other public sector organisations across the UK, including local authorities, schools, colleges, universities and charities, with a ‘one stop’ consultancy solution to their portfolio of pipeline projects.

All organisations with access to the framework will have the option to select from an approved list of suppliers to assist them with full project management and design services throughout RIBA stages 0-7 of their built projects, whether it be for a new build, refurbishment schemes, regeneration and/or major programmes of work.

Among a network of other successful candidates, we will provide a full range of consultancy services via eight of the 11 Lots including: project management, quantity surveyor, principal designer, multidisciplinary services, building surveyors, healthcare planning, net zero, environmental consultancy and sustainability, and ancillary services. All of these will help new and existing clients to deliver on their decarbonisation strategies, digital transformation and reorganisation.

Chris Sargent, Managing Director, Real Estate, UK, commented:

"We’re delighted to have secured a place on the NHS SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services framework agreement. We have been part of NHS SBS’ team of suppliers since the inception of the original framework agreement, and this longstanding relationship has enabled our expert teams to make a difference for healthcare and public sector projects across the UK."

We are hugely excited to have the opportunity to continue working with many of the existing clients from the previous version of the framework as well as potential new clients, to help provide better facilities and improve lives for years to come.

Melissa King, Senior Category Manager - Construction and Infrastructure, NHS Shared Business Services, commented:

"We’re excited to launch our Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services framework agreement, which replaces our successful Construction Consultancy Services 2 framework agreement."

It is designed to support the NHS and wider public sector by providing high-quality, innovative and cost-effective solutions through UK-wide coverage, a unique depth of expertise and a broad range of suppliers.

NHS SBS was created in 2004 by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to deliver corporate services to the NHS. A unique joint venture with Sopra Steria, a European leader in digital services and software development, it makes life easier for NHS employees, patients and suppliers.

NHS SBS is the country's leading supplier of corporate services to the NHS and manages over 40 framework agreements covering a wide range of clinical and corporate goods and services.
