Premier Modular reappointed to NHS SBS Framework

Premier Modular has been reappointed as a supplier on a leading national healthcare procurement framework.

The business, which has been providing modular solutions for nearly 70 years, has retained its place on the NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) Modular Buildings 3 Framework Agreement until 2029.

The company has been appointed to a number of lots including Healthcare Modular New Build, Healthcare Modular Hire and Lease, Education Modular Hire and Lease, Public Sector Modular New Build, Public Sector Modular Hire and Lease and Residential Accommodation Modular New Build.  

The Framework is available nationwide to the NHS and wider public sector organisations, including education, local authorities and blue light services, giving them access to fast, high-quality and future proofed temporary, and permanent modular solutions, from additional ward space to high-spec technical facilities.

The procurement of modular buildings also supports the government’s construction and industry strategy and meet sustainability targets. Premier Modular works closely with NHS Trusts up and down the country on a wide variety of leading healthcare projects. In the past year, the business has provided modular solutions for Redruth and Camborne’s stroke ward, James Cook University Hospital’s urgent treatment centre and addition emergency care services and women’s and children’s critical care wards for Shrewsbury Hospital.

Kat Jackson, principal category manager at NHS SBS, said: 'With over £1.1 billion spent through our Modular Buildings Framework Agreements since 2017, NHS SBS provides a trusted, compliant route to market for the NHS and the wider public sector. Through the framework agreement, approved organisations can purchase, hire or lease offsite buildings from off the shelf to full turnkey solutions.'

David Harris, CEO at Premier Modular, said: 'The healthcare sector is a key focus for us as a business and we’re looking forward to continuing to deliver innovative modular solutions through the renewed framework, helping a wide variety of organisations capitalise on the benefits of offsite manufacturing.  'We’ve previously built the UK’s first barn theatre, as well as other technical specialist facilities, such as endoscopy hubs and training centres, providing vital healthcare resources to communities in need. Following the recent funding boost for the healthcare sector through the government’s spending review, the need to build facilities at pace in order to solve crucial issues like the patient backlog, the need for modular solutions is only going to grow.”'
