## Summary

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has completed a public procurement process for a National Framework Agreement titled "National Framework Agreement for Provision of Sterile Services and Endoscopy Decontamination Facility Solutions." This project falls under the works category, specifically the construction of special medical facilities, and is located in Chester, UK. The procurement method used was an open procedure, which allowed for broad participation, and key contracts were awarded in March 2021, with a total estimated budget of £375 million per contract.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses engaged in the construction and healthcare sectors, particularly those specialising in medical facility construction, equipment services, and facilities management.
