Building for Wales 2 Frameworks - Meet the buyer event

NHS Wales Organisation are required by Welsh Government to procure all major capital construction projects via the Building for Wales framework. Currently depending on the works value of the project, the framework is divided regionally and nationally.

Since the current framework was introduced, 28 projects have been procured by NHS organisations.

With the expiration of the current contract approaching, NWSSP wants to engage with the market regarding changes to the framework and to gain a better understanding of the market and any improvements that can be made to the new framework.
