In plain English
NHS Lanarkshire is looking for joinery contractors to join a framework agreement that will handle carpentry and woodwork repairs and installations across their hospitals and community health sites. The work ranges from small emergency fixes under £5,000 to planned jobs up to £50,000, and contractors must be able to respond 24/7.
What the buyer wants
• Provide joinery services (carpentry, repairs, installations, emergency callouts) across NHS Lanarkshire sites • Maintain 24-hour, 365-day emergency response capability with specified priority response times • Travel between multiple community sites where required and support clinical operations without disrupting patient care
Lots
- University Hospital Monklands (works under GBP 5,000)
- Community (works under GBP 5,000)
- Small Works (between GBP 5,000 - 50,000)
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: You will almost certainly be disqualified if you cannot commit to 24/7 emergency cover, 365 days a year. This contract requires either a large team or a sole trader willing to be on-call every single day, which is a major operational burden that rules out most small traditional joinery businesses.
