[More contracts for small businesses and VCSEs](https://tendernation.io/opportunities/for-small-businesses) ## About this tender Department of Business and Regulatory Reform have used the previous version of this framework as an example of best practice. The Cabinet Office has set a Common Minimum Standards policy for the Procurement of Built Environments in the Public Sector across Government, with which this proposed Framework will adhere to provide economically advantageous tenders. ProCure22 is a National Framework Agreement for England between the Department of Health (DH) and Principal Supply Chain Partners (framework suppliers) under which a range of capital investment construction schemes can be delivered to DH, its sub-departments in the NHS, the NHS Authorities and Trusts and any other Local Authority health and social care related facility in England. Under the Framework, Contracting Authorities may also participate in jointly funded schemes to fulfil their statutory duties. The capital investment schemes for the NHS largely consist of the build of clinical and specialist facilities (i.e. community hospitals, cardio-thoracic units, mental health facilities et al) and from master planning through design to completion of build and handover of any capital investment required to meet the strategic business objectives of the DH, NHS or other organisations delivering Health or Social Care. The Framework is intended to inspire and support operator initiatives such as investment in sustainability, carbon management, power sourcing and usage as well as DH/NHS efficiency and productivity initiatives such as the Carter Programme. The Framework requires the creation and maintenance of accredited, stable and integrated supply chains that encourages and enables the delivery of strategic planning, design and construction effort needed to deliver DH and NHS policy objectives. Additional information: Interested parties are invited to attend a supplier event as part of pre-tender market engagement. The purpose of which is to engage with organisations in the industry and provide an opportunity to: - Obtain a clear understanding of what business outcomes DH requires and ask questions regarding the proposed scope of work; - Obtain market views on how to structure the requirement to enable DH to maximise market interest, innovation and value for money.
