Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services

To keep NHS waitlists moving, you need the buildings and space to treat patients, and without regular renovation the care, safety and wellbeing of patients, hospital staff and the public can be compromised.  

The NHS needs sustainable, resilient, and energy efficient buildings that meet the needs of patients now and in the future – delivered on time, and in budget, but it can be challenging to find the time and support to get these projects off the ground.  

The Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services (HPCCAS) Framework Agreement offers consultancy services that are responsive to your needs, offering complete flexibility on the type of projects that can be supported. They are in line with  The Construction Playbook to ensure projects and programmes are correct from the start, and that the right people are involved to bring the expertise that is needed. HPCCAS provides choice and coverage of suppliers to deliver best outcomes regionally, and nationally. 

The Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services (HPCCAS) forms part of a wider solution that focusses on, ‘future-proofing estates and infrastructure’, helping to achieve NHSE estates and infrastructure targets.
