Moving towards its goal of achieving net zero by 2040, the NHS through its Shared Business Services arm has published its Decarbonisation of Estates framework agreement which will enable estates managers in health care and other public sector settings to create greener and more attractive buildings and working environments.
Worth £500m over four years, the framework agreement includes a range of estates work including internal and external wall insulation, ground source and air source heat pumps, electric heating solutions, photovoltaic systems, ventilation systems and lighting works as well as traditional works such as replacement of windows and doors, and solutions to tackle damp and mould in domestic properties.
“This new framework agreement will support the delivery of the NHS’s ambition in ‘Delivering a Net Zero Health Service’ and is a response to the profound and growing threat to health posed by climate change. It is geared towards helping the NHS modernise and decarbonise aged assets and buildings throughout the public sector’s estates.”
Anjub Ali, Senior Category Manager, NHS SBS.
The framework agreement allows for both further competition and direct award across seven geographical regions and can be used by all NHS and wider public sector authorities, including local government and housing associations.
Suppliers listed on the framework include Willmott Dixon, the lead contractor for the green fire station at Horsham in West Sussex. For a list of suppliers, which will be expanded over time, visit NHS Shared Business Services Decarbonisation of Estates Framework Agreement.
