## Summary

The NHS England is planning a tender titled "NHS Estates Technical Standards & Guidance Programme" in the services category, with a total contract value of £7,300,000. The tender is in the planning stage, and the engagement end date is set for December 6, 2022. Potential bidders are invited to participate in a market assessment questionnaire before the forthcoming procurement exercise.

This opportunity is suitable for businesses offering specialist consultancy services in architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection sectors. The procurement process is being conducted by NHS England, based in Leeds, United Kingdom. Businesses interested in providing technical authoring services for the NHS TSG Programme are encouraged to participate in the market engagement exercise to gain insight and potentially secure a new 4-year contract.

## Notice

The NHS England Technical Standards and Guidance (TSG) Programme is responsible for publication of Health Building Notes (HBNs) and Health Technical Memoranda (HTMs). These have been provided to the NHS since the 1960s, but in 2017 responsibility was discharged from DHSC to NHS Improvement (now NHS England), within the national NHS Estates and Facilities division. Producing TSG requires a specialist skill set, including architects, health planners, engineers, technical author and editorial skills. Since 2018 external specialist consultancy support has been procured to provide the necessary resource and expertise so NHS England can progress updates. The current contract for technical authoring is coming to an end and so NHS England are looking to award a new 4-year contract for the specialist skills required so the TSG Programme can continue. More information is provided within the link below. https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032383-2022 NHS England is asking potential bidders to complete a market assessment questionnaire to help inform the forthcoming procurement exercise. Questionnaires must be submitted by 06-12-2022 via https://forms.office.com/r/EBxdXBGMpb The market engagement exercise aims to inform potential providers of the opportunity and collate feedback. A presentation and Q&A session is planned for w/c 12-12-2022.
