Eddisons secures spot on new NHS framework

Leeds-based advisory firm Eddisons has gained a place on a new two-year advisory framework for the NHS. Eddisons will provide property-related services to the NHS through the Shared Business Services Consultancy and Advisory Services for Health Framework, which was introduced last month. Those services include advising on capital asset strategies such as private finance initiatives, NHS Local Improvement Finance Trust scheme reviews and hand-backs and property consultancy and strategy. NHS SBS aims to partner with health service organisations across the country to increase efficiency, generate cost savings and improve corporate services. The appointment marks Eddisons’ fourth government framework selection, having previously secured places on the Crown Commercial Services, schools buying organisation ESPO and Homes England procurement frameworks. Javid Patel, who heads Eddisons’ public sector team, said: ““Our appointment on this latest government procurement framework underlines Eddisons’ continued investment in our services to the public sector, helping us improve our access to the market.”
