Perfect Pairings – combining frameworks and services to create a bespoke solution for your needs
Our theme for May is integration matters. We strive to offer our customers innovative solutions by utilising our full framework portfolio across our organisation, integrating products procured through our Category Management Service provider of NHS Supply Chain: Facilities and Office Solutions, and services available through the NOE CPC procurement hub.
We have pulled together some options for you to consider when thinking about ways to combine frameworks to create a bespoke solution for your needs.
Minor Works, Trades and Associated Services DPS + Estates, Maintenance and Engineering Services (Hard FM) framework
Our Facilities provision stretches across both the NOE CPC hub and CMSP. Frameworks for services such as Minor Works, Trades and Associated Services DPS and Estates, Maintenance and Engineering Services (Hard FM) for specialist services including emergency lighting can be combined with NHS Supply Chain: Facilities and Office Solutions Batteries Lighting and Tools to source the products needed for these services including emergency lighting bulbs, rechargeable batteries, tools, and storage.
NHS Supply Chain: Medical Healthcare Furniture + Office Furniture Frameworks
Furnish your healthcare estate by pairing up our Medical Healthcare Furniture and Office Furniture Framework agreements. These frameworks provide a comprehensive range of furniture solutions for all areas of your facility, from patient wards to administrative offices. With the combination of these two frameworks you can access a wide range of products, for clinical, residential and office based environments, to create and maintain functional and comfortable spaces for your patients, visitors and workforce.

CPC Drive + Minor Works, Trades and Associated Services DPS
Our CPC Drive framework offers an innovative fleet management system and access to lease and salary sacrifice vehicle schemes for NHS trusts and public sector organisations. The agreement covers a wide range of vehicles including self ULEV and EV, and the supplier Tusker, is operating at 83% ULEV order book. This agreement can be combined with our Minor Works, Trades and Associated Services DPS which offers a range of works categories including the installation and maintenance of electric vehicle charging solutions.
CPC Drive + Employee Benefits framework
CPC Drive is also included as part of our Employee Benefits framework which offers a range of benefits, including car leasing which can be adapted to suit your organisation’s requirements.
NHS Supply Chain: Textiles and Associated Products framework + Laundry and Linen Services Total Solutions framework
The Textiles and Associated Products framework from NHS Supply Chain: Facilities and Office Solutions provides a route to purchase products including bedding, linen and towels. This can be used in conjunction with NOE CPC’s Laundry and Linen Services Total Solutions framework which offers a complete solution catering for inhouse and outsourced laundry and linen service models.
IT Hardware and Services framework + Non-Clinical Systems DPS + Total Technology Solutions framework
We have a comprehensive portfolio of Technology and ICT frameworks for you to use. You can use our IT Hardware and Services (LINK3) framework to access end user devices such as laptops, desktops, tablets, mobile phones and accessories. You can then use our new Non-Clinical Systems Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to purchase all the non-clinical software you need to install on your devices, to help you run your services. Alternatively, you can use our Total Technology Solutions (TTS) framework to source the infrastructure you need to run your end user devices.
NHS Supply Chain: Hot Beverages and Vending Consumables + Catering Equipment and Consumables Frameworks
The Hot Beverages and Vending Consumables Framework provides a range of retail and patient feeding products, in a wider range of pack sizes and pack formats, including a branded solution. When partnered with the Catering Equipment and Consumables Vending and Water Cups (Lot Two) you have everything you need to keep your patients, visitors, and workforce hydrated.
NHS Supply Chain: Food To Go + Catering Equipment and Consumables Frameworks
Similarly to the hot beverage joint solution you can use these two NHS Supply Chain frameworks to source both the food products and packaging in which they can be served. By using the Food To Go framework you can source retail feeding solutions, which can be used in staff and visitor restaurants areas or patient feeding solutions used by wards for patient feeding. Once you have carried out the initial mini-competitions with NHS Supply Chain’s culinary, dietetic and market expertise, you can liaise with the catering consumables experts to find the best Disposable or Reusable Catering Consumables solutions on which you can serve them.
