Modular/Pre-Fabricated Building Solutions
Introduction
The Modular/Pre-Fabricated Building Solutions Framework, managed by the NHS London Procurement Partnership, is a strategic procurement tool designed to support NHS entities and other public sector organisations across the UK. Running until the 14th of February, 2025, this framework falls under the construction category and provides a structured method for acquiring modular and pre-fabricated buildings. It is not a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) but is organised into specific lots with defined scopes of work. The framework is intended to facilitate the rapid deployment of building solutions, enabling organisations to meet urgent infrastructural needs efficiently.
Context & Use Case
In the public sector, especially within the NHS, there is a recurring need for quick, flexible, and cost-effective building solutions. Whether it is to address a sudden increase in demand for healthcare facilities or to provide temporary spaces during redevelopment projects, modular and pre-fabricated buildings offer an ideal solution. These structures are manufactured off-site and assembled on-site, minimizing disruption to existing operations and reducing construction timelines. The framework is a practical choice for contracting authorities seeking to expand their physical infrastructure without the prolonged timelines associated with traditional construction methods.
Scope of Services
The framework is divided into three lots, each catering to different needs within the modular and pre-fabricated building sector: 1. Lot 1: Catalogue of Products - This lot provides a range of ready-made modular building solutions, allowing organisations to select from pre-designed structures that can be rapidly deployed. 2. Lot 2: Purchase and Hire of Modular/Pre-fabricated Buildings - This lot offers options for both purchasing and hiring structures, providing flexibility for short-term and long-term requirements. 3. Lot 3: Bespoke - For unique or specific needs, this lot allows for the design and delivery of customised modular buildings tailored to the precise requirements of the contracting authority.
Who Can Apply
The Modular/Pre-Fabricated Building Solutions Framework is open to suppliers that specialise in the design, manufacture, and installation of modular and pre-fabricated buildings. Companies with expertise in delivering high-quality, compliant, and innovative solutions in this sector are encouraged to consider applying. As this is not a DPS, applications are not open during the framework’s lifetime, and interested suppliers should monitor for future opportunities or similar frameworks.
Buyer Benefits
Public sector buyers benefit from this framework through access to pre-approved suppliers, ensuring compliance with procurement regulations and reducing the time required to bring new facilities online. By using this framework, organisations can bypass lengthy tender processes, gaining quicker access to necessary building solutions. The competitive nature of the framework ensures that buyers can secure value for money while maintaining quality and compliance standards.
