Virtual Meet the Buyer - South Wales Construction Framework

The NHS and public sector as a whole continue to strive for better value for money, improved quality, and increased performance in terms of time and productivity. It also aims to deliver tangible savings and efficiencies. With this in mind NHS Wales has, for some time, been committed to a procurement policy that encourages a shift away from traditional and often adversarial contractual relationships towards an approach based more on collaboration, integrated supply chains and shared goals.

A new generation of local construction frameworks will be delivered by Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, Velindre NHS Trust and Hosted Organizations to support construction works within South Wales.

There will be a total of four frameworks covering Building Related Services, Asbestos Remediation, Electrical Service and Mechanical Services. The frameworks will succeed the current Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (C&V UHB) arrangements which has been running since 2020.

A virtual market engagement event will take place on the 13th June 10.30 am to share further details on our plans for the next generation frameworks.
