## Summary

The NHS Property Service (NHS PS) is in the process of awarding a framework agreement for the supply of architectural services, with the initial estimated total value amounting to £50 million. This procurement, classified under architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, is taking place in London and will be operational from 11th February 2019 to 10th February 2022, with a possible extension of 12 months. The tender was published on 2nd November 2018, and the open procedure for applications closed on 6th December 2018. NHS PS collaborates with various procurement partnerships, and this framework will serve all public sector bodies across the UK, not just NHS organisations.

Businesses offering architectural services, especially those skilled in estates strategy development, building design, and facility adaptations, are well suited to participate in this procurement process. Firms that can match the NHS's strategic vision for property development will find fruitful avenues for collaboration and growth within this framework agreement.
