AEC has been named as a supplier on the new NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) Framework

The new Building Safety and Fire Compliance Framework Agreement provides the NHS and wider public sector with a comprehensive range of services, including fire safety, asbestos management and removal, lifts maintenance and installation, water treatment, PAT testing, authorising engineers, and pneumatic tube systems.

NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) was created in 2004 by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to deliver corporate services to the NHS. A unique joint venture with Sopra Steria, a European leader in digital services and software development, it makes life easier for NHS employees, patients and suppliers, and delivers value for money to the taxpayer.

NHS SBS’s framework agreement allows buyers in the NHS and public sector organisations to access AEC services, quickly and compliantly, knowing we have passed their vigorous quality vetting processes. 

NHS England estimates it will cost approximately £13.8 billion to clear the NHS maintenance backlog and The National Audit Office reported 5,400 clinical incidents in 2023-2024 due to infrastructure failures and poor conditions.

“With the recent budget announcement allocating £1 billion to the NHS to address critical repairs, this framework agreement provides a compliant procurement route for essential safety services.”
