Capita Symonds wins place on Welsh construction framework
Firm qualifies for Designed for Life programme for health buildings worth £4m-£10m
Capita Symonds has won a place on the Designed for Life building framework for Wales.
The four-year deals are part of the Designed for Life: Building for Wales Regional Frameworks programme, which is part of the Welsh Government’s wider NHS Wales construction procurement strategy responsible for all NHS Wales projects with a construction value between £4m and £10m.
Capita Symonds has secured a place on the South East Wales framework for the provision of architectural services; and on the South West Wales and North Wales frameworks for project and cost management services.
The objectives of the Designed for Life frameworks, which will also be used by organisations such as the Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust and Public Health Wales, are to:
- Obtain best value for money in procuring major health capital developments
- Implement the Welsh Government’s construction policy to ensure that the NHS in Wales complies with best practice models of procurement based on long-term strategic partnerships
- Ensure that NHS Wales becomes an exemplar client for all major construction procurement projects
- Create an environment of collaborative working and continuous improvement that utilises strategic partnerships with integrated supply chains
NHS Wales projects in excess of £10m will continue to be let under the original Designed for Life: Building for Wales Framework until the new National Framework comes into operation in July this year.
