Pulse appointed to Gold Standard Verified NHS SBS Framework
We are proud to have been appointed a supplier on the NHS Shared Business Services (SBS) Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services Framework, which has achieved Constructing the Gold Standard Verification.
For us here at Pulse, our appointment to a framework with this verification reinforces the values that underpin our own work with healthcare clients. Including, expert decision-making, live environment management and informed decision-making.
The independent Gold Standard verification recognises frameworks that showcase best practice in the procurement and delivery of public-sector construction projects. For public-sector bodies including the NHS, the verification provides added confidence that the framework offers a robust and collaborative route to market, with a clear focus on risk management, value and project outcomes.
The NHS SBS framework gives clients access to specialist consultancy support for traditional, design and build, new-build and refurbishment projects, as well as providing flexible procurement options, including direct award and further competition.
From NHS Trusts to other healthcare providers across the UK, our expert team is supporting on projects ranging from diagnostic and imaging facilities to emergency departments, elective care environments and wider estate improvement programmes.
Healthcare projects require the technical expertise, sector knowledge and hands-on projects leadership – all of which are characteristics we're proud to have here at Pulse. These projects are much more than just buildings, they need to be versatile in delivery, and the projects team must be able to respond to changing clinical needs, protect the continuity of patient services and make the best possible use of public investment.
