CPMG is proud to support the NHS through our position on the NHS SBS Construction & Estates Framework - now formally recognised with Gold Standard Verification.
This achievement, awarded under the Constructing the Gold Standard Verification Scheme, confirms that the framework aligns with all 24 recommendations set out in the independent review led by Constructing Excellence and King’s College London.
What this means for our NHS partners
- Verified best‑practice procurement - The Gold Standard is widely recognised as the benchmark for excellence in public sector construction procurement, ensuring transparent, collaborative and outcomes‑led delivery.
- Confidence in quality and governance - Independent assessment confirms that framework processes, contracts and governance meet measurable compliance criteria across more than 2,000 UK public sector frameworks.
- Alignment with net‑zero and long‑term value - The verification highlights frameworks that support safer, more sustainable estates and long-term strategic outcomes for NHS organisations.
