In brief

Wirral University Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is looking for suppliers for construction and building maintenance work (North West).

It is a framework worth up to £40,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 1 year, up to 2 years with extensions, starting 1 April 2027.

It is split into 5 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

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

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £40,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

The buyer expects to buy this again around April 2028.
