The new Decarbonisation of Estates agreement is designed to help the NHS achieve its ambition of becoming the world's first net zero national health service, reaching net zero by 2040 for the emissions the NHS controls directly.

Anjub Ali, senior category manager at NHS SBS, commented: ‘With the announcement of over £1bn for public sector decarbonisation in 2024's Budget, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero confirmed funding for the next wave of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.

‘This new framework agreement will support the delivery of the NHS's ambition in ‘Delivering a Net Zero Health Service' and is a response to the profound and growing threat to health posed by climate change. It is geared towards helping the NHS modernise and decarbonise aged assets and buildings throughout the public sector's estates.'

The agreement allows for both further competition and direct award across seven geographical regions.  Both public projects and domestic dwellings are in scope, and the framework agreement can be used by all NHS and wider public sector authorities, including local government and housing associations.

Work covered under the agreement includes internal and external wall insulation, ground source and air source heat pumps, electric heating solutions, photovoltaic systems, ventilation systems and lighting works as well as traditional works such as replacement of windows and doors, and solutions to tackle damp and mould in domestic properties.
