NHS Shared Business Services Limited · NHS and health

In brief

NHS Shared Business Services Limited has announced plans to buy waste and environmental 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 £300,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 16 February 2028.

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

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £300,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
