Workplace change and relocation specialist Business Moves Group (BMG) has been named a supplier to NHS Shared Business Services’ (NHS SBS) Hard Facilities Management 2 (Hard FM) framework agreement.

The appointment follows a competitive tender process and marks the first time BMG has been appointed to one of NHS SBS’s extensive portfolio of framework agreements.

The Hard FM framework is free to access for all UK public sector bodies and offers potential saving opportunities of 5–10%. It has been specifically developed for the requirements of the NHS and healthcare sector. Services include estate and FM services, building maintenance services and relocation services.

Rachel Houghton, Managing Director at Business Moves Group said, “The appointment of Business Moves Group to the NHS framework marks a major milestone for the company and is testament to our capabilities in the healthcare sector. Our UK-wide operational model ensures we are ideally positioned to support healthcare estates across the country. We look forward to working on numerous projects in the next two years – and hopefully for many years in the future.”

The framework agreement began in April and will run for two years, with a potential two-year extension.
