Mitie has been named as a supplier on the new NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) Sustainable Transport and Infrastructure Framework Agreement.
Inclusion on the framework allows the facility services provider to bid for contracts and projects delivering consultancy, planning and installation services for EV charging and other sustainable transport infrastructure for NHS and public sector organisations across the UK (the framework has been adopted by several councils, schools, police forces and national parks).
Mitie’s inclusion on the framework agreement covers two areas: sustainable transport consultancy and infrastructure installation.
As a designated consultancy supplier on the framework, Mitie will be able to develop tailored transport decarbonisation strategies for customers, providing its expertise to ensure EV transitions and charge point rollouts are aligned with the customer’s wider sustainability goals.
As an infrastructure supplier, Mitie will also be available to deliver the technical design, installation, and maintenance of EV charge points at public sector sites, which will include hospitals and GP surgeries.
Ensuring there are sufficient EV charging networks across the NHS estate is an important component of the organisation’s ambitious target of reaching net zero for its own emissions by 2040.
By expanding the UK’s charge point network, the NHS can also contribute to improving local air quality by helping more people make the switch to EVs.
As a close partner to the NHS, Mitie, through its appointment to this framework agreement, will be well positioned to expand on its services to existing NHS customers, offering a full suite of end-to-end EV solutions that support decarbonisation goals.
Mitie has extensive experience in the creation and delivery of EV transition plans, as well as the installation and upkeep of EV charging infrastructure - including supporting grid upgrades where needed through its specialist business, Rock Power Connections.
Our inclusion on this framework agreement is testament to our strong electric vehicle credentials and proven commitment to driving decarbonisation for public sector organisations across the UK.
To date, the group has installed more than 2,700 EV charge points in employee homes and at customer sites.
With our specialist expertise in delivering comprehensive EV solutions, we’re well equipped to support the NHS, and a wide range of other public sector organisations on their green transitions.”
Anjub Ali, Senior Construction Specialist for NHS SBS, adds: "The NHS has set out ambitious goals en route to Net Zero 2040.
Our framework agreement provides all NHS organisations with a convenient and compliant way of purchasing a wide range of sustainable transport services and infrastructure to help it get there.
"We have worked with NHS Sustainability, Estates and Procurement colleagues in designing this framework, and aligned it to fulfil the common themes which have emerged from NHS Trusts' Green Travel plans, so it includes a range of suppliers providing transport and infrastructure-related services to support the NHS on its journey."
