Summary of the contracting process

NHS Property Services Limited (NHS PS) has successfully awarded a zero-value framework for architectural and building-surveying services, with a potential duration of up to four years, starting from 3rd September 2025. The procurement process, guided by an open procedure, encompasses four geographical lots across England, each allowing multiple suppliers, with the potential for appointing up to seven suppliers per lot. This framework is part of the NHS PS's strategic initiative to develop a cohesive supply base for architectural expertise, facilitating projects at various sites. Key details such as procurement being in the award stage, location specificity, and selection through open electronic submission methods are integral to the procurement planning.

This architectural services framework presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in architectural and building-surveying services to engage with a major public-sector organisation. With services required across varied geographic regions, businesses from SMEs to larger firms can find potential growth through this engagement, particularly in bids for multiple lots without any aforementioned restrictions. Companies focusing on quality, social value contribution, and competitive pricing can leverage this framework to expand their portfolio and establish significant presences within the public health sector. Thus, this framework supports diversification and increased market presence for architectural firms across England.
