NHS England’s preferred route to market for health construction works 

NHS ProCure is more than just a framework and its suppliers are more than just contractors. The collaborative ethos of the framework and its new engineering contracts (NECs) bring together a shared mindset where people work together openly and positively with a common purpose. 

Assurance you can trust

Building on the success of the previous 3 NHS ProCure frameworks, P23 provides the NHS and wider public sector with a trusted, compliant, and value‑driven route to market for health‑related design and build construction projects.

Designed by the NHS, for the NHS 

Delivered in partnership with Crown Commercial Service (CCS), NHS ProCure23 (P23) is part of the Construction Works and Associated Services 2 framework and has been shaped specifically around health requirements.

P23 is a Constructing Excellence Gold Standard framework, 1 of a few NHS England accredited frameworks. 

What you get with ProCure23 

Every supplier appointed to P23 has met robust, independently assessed criteria, demonstrating:

• proven ability in complex design and construction projects
• strong governance and risk management
• consistent delivery of quality and value

When you use the P23 framework, you gain free access to a comprehensive range of toolkits, resources and expert guidance designed to support successful procurement and project delivery.

Included support and resources:

• dedicated support from a ProCure implementation lead and the wider ProCure team, acting as your critical friend throughout procurement and project delivery
• standard, ready‑to‑use procurement templates to streamline your processes
• practical guidance to help you meet legal duties and embed safety across the project lifecycle
• access to a library of standardised, repeatable room designs
• training designed specifically for anyone involved in project planning and delivery

Supporting modern, sustainable construction 

ProCure23 helps NHS organisations adopt:

• Government Construction Playbook principles
• modern methods of construction
• best practice in compliance, sustainability, net zero, and social value

These elements ensure safer sites, faster delivery, lower environmental impact, and improved outcomes for patients and local communities.

NHS ProCure23 will be live until the next iteration of the framework is established in 2027 – NHS ProCure24.
