Summary of the contracting process

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, located in Chester, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for a National Framework aimed at providing Asset and Contract Lifecycle Management Services. This initiative covers a broad range of services, including procurement, contract, and service delivery management, under an open procedure method. Particularly relevant are the framework's dual lots: one focusing on NHS organisations and the other on non-NHS public sector entities. The procurement process, which started with planning in November 2025, has now reached the contract stage with contracts signed in May 2026, to be active until May 2028, with a possibility of extension until 2030. The total framework's value is estimated at GBP 10 million, highlighting a significant opportunity within the public sector's central government category.

This framework offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in contract administration services, asset management, and lifecycle management. Large suppliers, such as BOXXE LIMITED and GLOBAL COMMERCIAL SERVICES GROUP LTD, have already secured awards, but the framework encourages competition both with and without reopening further. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in public sector management services may find this framework an excellent opportunity to provide solutions aimed at improving organisational efficiencies. The framework's structure ensures opportunities for continued growth and the ability to aid in the streamlined management of complex service delivery projects, enhancing opportunities for diverse business engagements within the UK and its associated territories.

Notice Information

Notice Title

National Framework for the Provision of Asset and Contract Lifecycle Management Services

Notice Description

In 2022, the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's Commercial Procurement Service established a National Framework Agreement for asset lifecycle contract management services to facilitate improvements in organisational efficiency which may otherwise have been overlooked under a fragmented approach to contract management. This framework has provided a targeted end to end outsourced lifecycle contract management solution spanning procurement, contract management and service delivery management. The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's Commercial Procurement Service now wishes to establish a new framework to enable and support continued asset and contract lifecycle management within the NHS and wider public sector. The purpose of this Framework is to enable a provider to increase efficiency against traditional contract letting and management methods, whilst maintaining or improving high standards of delivery.
