Procurement options’ ‘pros and cons’

A senior associate at multidisciplinary design, property, and construction consultancy solutions business, Pellings, reviews the various procurement options open to NHS Trusts.

The existing ProCure21+ (P21+) framework deal for delivering healthcare construction projects for the NHS is due to end this September, and will be replaced by ProCure22, which could see a spend of £2 bn - £5 bn over four years. Against this backdrop, Ian Nunn ICIOB, a senior associate at multidisciplinary design, property, and construction consultancy solutions business, Pellings, reviews the different types of procurement options open to NHS Trusts, and considers their ‘pros and cons’.

The key drivers with all NHS Trust procurement decisions are, as one would imagine, largely based upon cost, speed of delivery, control, and expertise, and are as follows: 

The P21+ National Framework is a framework agreement with six Principal Supply Chain Partners (PSCPs) and their supply chains, selected by OJEU tender process for capital investment construction schemes. Any NHS client or joint-venture may use the framework for a capital construction scheme without having to go through the OJEU process themselves. These partners have considerable expertise in delivering healthcare projects, as well as the opportunity to share designs and other information.
