Summary of the contracting process

NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) has successfully awarded the Modular Buildings 3 framework, a nationwide initiative aimed at providing modular and portable building solutions across the healthcare, education, residential, and wider public sector industries. With a contract value estimated at £2.6 billion, the framework agreement will span from June 2025 to June 2029, allowing for procurement, hiring, or leasing of modular buildings within the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was an open procedure, adhering to above-threshold requirements. The process has progressed through the planning, tender, and award stages, with the award date recorded as 26 August 2025, and prior engagement activities concluding by May 2024.

This framework offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those capable of specialising in modular construction and sustainability-centric solutions, to engage in large-scale projects. The segmentation into various lots by industry and project scale indicates that both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger organisations stand to benefit from the contractual opportunities provided. Suppliers focused on delivering social value and sustainable outcomes are encouraged, emphasising the framework's commitment to innovative and socially responsible business practices. This procurement initiative is especially suitable for businesses with expertise in constructing controlled factory environments and implementing offsite building methodologies for a diverse range of applications.
