Growing patient waiting lists and a lack of clinical space plague the NHS. A quick solution to help increase capacity and treat more patients is modular buildings, which can be mobilised quickly and efficiently.

Modular solutions are scalable, adaptable, and cost-effective for you to use.  They often provide a longer-term solution and can be added onto existing hospital buildings in a matter of weeks, offering a custom solution without the delay, so patients can be seen quicker. Modular buildings also support the environment, with reduced carbon emissions, and less dust and noise pollution during the construction process – ideal for healthcare where the environment should be clean and quiet. Offsite construction means less disruption on live sites such as hospitals and schools, which is highly beneficial to both service users and staff.

The Modular Buildings Framework Agreement provides up to 50% faster delivery than onsite construction. The efficiency gains from modular and offsite manufactured solutions support the delivery of the government’s construction and industry strategy targets, which include time and cost savings as well as whole life cost benefits and in use savings.

The specification for the framework agreement was developed through thorough consultation with the market and experts in the field of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). It also supports government strategy by ensuring that social value, sustainability, MMC and key principles of The Construction Playbook are incorporated within the framework agreement.

If this framework agreement doesn’t cover the goods or services you require, or a framework agreement isn’t the optimal route to market for your needs, we can provide tailored strategic procurement support. Find out more here.
