The framework is expected to cover a wide range of services and products, including:

• Clinical and healthcare environment design

• Interior design, space planning and turnkey delivery

• Office, residential, education and mental health furniture

• Ergonomic assessments

• Clinical theatre equipment

• Signage and wayfinding

• Circular economy furniture solutions

• Cleaning equipment including robotic vacuums and scrubbers

This engagement phase gives suppliers the opportunity to help shape a framework that meets the evolving needs of healthcare and public sector estates.

PME closes at 12 noon on Thursday 14 May 2026

Find out more via the UK Central Digital Platform or SAP Ariba, and explore the existing Design, Furniture and Appliances 2 Framework Agreement to understand the current offer.
