NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) has announced the launch of a major new procurement framework. The new framework – Consultancy and Advisory Services for Health (SBS10197)– is designed to allow public sector organisations to purchase a broad range of consulting services that have a focus on health or care.

The framework has 10 lots covering over 100 types of consulting services, and Bramble Hub is a supplier on all 10. This means we can supply our partners’ expert services in the healthcare sector, ranging from business analysis and project management to finance and specialist pandemic-related services.

Richard Archer, MD of Bramble Hub, said “This ambitious new NHS SBS framework offers a new route for healthcare organisations to buy consultancy services, and we are delighted to have been named as a supplier on all lots. We have numerous partners that offer specialist services for the health and care sectors, and expect that many of them will benefit by being able to provide their expertise on this framework via our thin-prime model.”

The framework opened for business on 18 March 2024, and is scheduled to operate for four years.
