Designed to provide a one-stop shop for organisations to meet their engineering and maintenance requirements, the framework will provide customers with expert services that combine quality, value, and compliance.

Committed to maximising the economic and environmental benefit through bespoke procurement solutions for the public sector, the NOE CPC framework agreements are linked to the NHS Net Zero supplier roadmap which aims to achieve the world’s first net zero national health service.
Commenting on this latest project, John Abraham, Chief Operating Officer for Industrial, Water & Energy for UK, Ireland and Nordics, said: "Through this new framework agreement we will be able to extend our services to more NHS and public sector facilities, and help accelerate decarbonisation."
"By delivering the expert services essential to support these facilities, this further highlights our goal to help our customers reduce their carbon emissions through our strategic GreenUP programme," Abraham added.
