Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) has awarded contracts for the "NHS SBS Decarbonisation of Estates Framework," a substantial undertaking aimed at decarbonising public estates across the United Kingdom. This contracting process, which has now reached the award stage as of 9th September 2025, represents an open procurement method with a significant contract value of £500 million. The framework focuses on building installation work across the UK, structured into two key lots for the decarbonisation of non-domestic and domestic properties. The procurement process, which began with the tender publication on the 9th of May 2024, followed stringent timelines, leading to an award in November 2024, and the contract period set to commence on 13th January 2025, extending through to 12th January 2029.

This framework presents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are equipped to deliver comprehensive energy efficiency measures across various sites. With a focus on sustainability and social value, businesses in the construction, engineering, and green energy sectors will find this framework particularly appealing. Engaging with this framework can enhance business profiles through participation in large-scale, government-backed decarbonisation projects and foster long-term relationships with public bodies. The project’s scope covering the entire United Kingdom offers geographical expansion potential for firms aiming to broaden their operational footprint.
