Consultancy lands place on £1.6bn framework

Property, construction and infrastructure consultancy Pick Everard has been appointed to a new £1.6 billion NHS framework agreement.

The firm, which has offices in Derby, has earned a place on the new four-year NHS Shared Business Services (SBS) framework.

Open to local authorities, emergency services, higher education, NHS and the wider public sector, the agreement builds on the previous NHS SBS framework agreement and a nine-year working relationship Pick Everard has held with the organisation.

Alex Hamilton-Jordan, associate director at Pick Everard, said: “This agreement provides an efficient route to market to procure our services, and offers flexibility for organisations to adapt to meet their requirements.”

Partner Alastair Hamilton said: “We’ve made huge strides in growing our operation over the past five years, and part of this owes to our framework appointments, which have a real focus on quality, a broad range of service delivery and technical excellence.

“We’re hugely proud to be able to continue our journey with NHS SBS and the success the framework agreement delivers – ensuring the best possible outcomes for clients and end-users.”
