Published justification

The P22 framework provides a health and social care specific route to market for design and construction services for the NHS. The framework is due to expire on 30th September 2021, and will be succeeded by Lots 1, 2 and 3 of the Construction Works and Associated Works 2 (CWAS2) framework. These three lots will collectively be called P23, as the fourth iteration of the ProCure route to market for NHS capital projects in England.

In line with cross Government guidance on major capital works procurement, P23 will now be delivered to market on the NHS's behalf by Crown Commercial Services, and will align with the key Government policy areas of Modern Methods of Construction, net zero carbon targets, social value and smart infrastructure. By delivering P23 as part of the £30b CWAS2 framework, P23 will be part of the largest single framework procurement in the UK. This will allow NHS bodies to lever the benefits of central Government buying power and create a Crown Commercial Services assured and monitored supply chain, but with the same NHS support as previous ProCure frameworks. As P23 was originally intended to be delivered as a stand-alone framework, the partnership with Crown Commercial Services has required that the P23 documents set, based on the previous ProCure documents, is aligned with the CWAS2 framework terms and conditions. The CWAS2 framework Prior Information Notice has been published, and the Invitation to Tender is currently planned for release in August 2021. CWAS2 is planned to end in October 2026, ensuring that the investment and contribution of suppliers to the pipeline of health and social care capital projects is fully realised.

The ability of the market to respond to the P23 opportunity remains heavily affected by the organisational challenges of the pandemic, and so to ensure that all organisations have an effective opportunity to participate in the procurement, the ITT release date of the CWAS framework will coincide with the period after the Government plans to end the majority of Covid 19 restrictions in July 2021. As the procurement is currently not expected to be concluded before the current expiry of P22, there is a risk that the current pipeline of NHS estates works, much of which has been delayed by Covid 19 and is required for urgent operational improvements, cannot be delivered through the option of an assured NHS managed framework.

The CWAS2 framework is currently expected to be awarded in 2021, however, the Authority is extending P22 to 30th June 2022 as a contingency in the event that CWAS2 takes longer to award, but with the provision that, if CWAS2 is awarded earlier, the Authority may exercise a contractual right to terminate P22 at an earlier date.
