NHS Shared Business Services Limited · NHS and health

In brief

NHS Shared Business Services Limited has announced plans to buy legal work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £200,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 10 November 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Usually high: a median of 12 bids per contract for this buyer (from 51 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £200,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
