Building Safety Contractors Framework

Building Safety Contractors Framework – Market Engagement/Meet the Buyer Event

NHG is seeking feedback on its proposal to appoint expert contractors to a closed framework agreement on building safety matters. This feedback will be used to develop our lot strategy, choice of procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, as well as conditions of participation and award criteria.

This is via a Microsoft Forms survey and a meet the buyer event on Friday 20th November 2026 where NHG will present its proposed strategy to attendees, with Q&A.

The framework will support NHGs own Building Safety actions and includes, but is not limited to: Cladding Remediation and Façade Improvements; Fire Safety Works; Building envelope works including window and door replacement works; Roofing replacement and refurbishment; Internal and Associated building works for safety and remediation projects; Design and compliance services including compliance with building regulations and fire safety requirements; Structural works.

The framework will be divided into two lots;

Lot 1 – Non-Complex Works

Lot 2 – Complex Works

It is expected that NHG will immediately enter into call-off contracts.

More detail about how to get involved can be found in the engagement section of this notice.

For the avoidance of doubt, any department or team within NHG may call off from any lot. The framework may also be used by other contracting authorities.
