NHS SBS Framework Bid Support
NHS Shared Business Services frameworks carry significant NHS spend. Glaxtons helps suppliers win places, with a 93% win rate and over £500M in contracts won.
What Is NHS SBS?
NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) is a provider of business support services and procurement frameworks for the NHS. Its framework agreements give NHS organisations a compliant route to procure a wide range of goods and services, helping the NHS buy efficiently and at scale.
For NHS buyers, NHS SBS frameworks offer a recognised, compliant way to access pre-qualified suppliers without running a full procurement exercise each time. For suppliers, a place on an NHS SBS framework provides pre-qualified access to NHS trusts, integrated care boards and other healthcare bodies over the framework period.
As with other public sector frameworks, an NHS SBS place makes you eligible to receive call-off contracts rather than guaranteeing work. NHS buyers award call-offs through direct award or further competition depending on the framework, so a strategy for converting your place into revenue matters as much as winning the place itself.
Who NHS SBS Frameworks Suit
NHS SBS frameworks suit suppliers that provide goods or services to the NHS and want a compliant, recognised route to NHS buyers. They are particularly worth considering if you fit the following profiles.
