UK CPM's selection as a preferred supplier for the NHS Shared Business Services , National Framework Partnership (NFP), and Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) procurement frameworks is a significant achievement that provides considerable advantages for their clients across various public sector organisations in the UK. Each of these frameworks represent a key aspect of the UK's public sector procurement landscape, enhancing UK CPM’s ability to meet diverse requirements and serve a broad range of public needs efficiently and effectively.
NHS SBS - Sustainable Transport & Infrastructure Framework
The NHS SBS ST&I framework has been created for all public sector bodies, utilised predominately by the NHS sector, emphasising the need for suppliers that can meet the rigorous standards of quality and cost-effectiveness while complying with strict healthcare regulations. For organisations within the Public Sector, this means that they have access to suppliers who have already been vetted for their capability to handle the unique challenges of their bespoke requirements, ensuring reliability and compliance in their procurement choices.
National Framework Partnership (NFP) - Car Par Management Services Framework
The NFP Framework caters to a broad spectrum of public sector entities including housing associations, local authorities, healthcare, education, and charities. The NFP prides itself on achieving tangible savings and adhering to legislative requirements. As a supplier on this framework, UK CPM is part of a network that aims to provide economically advantageous procurement partnerships. The NFP is funded through its charity sponsor and claims a nominal rebate from most call-off contracts, which is reinvested into the social arm of the charity. This ethical approach aligns with suppliers who are committed to social value.
Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) - Parking Management Solutions Framework
ESPO simplifies procurement for a wide range of public sector bodies by ensuring value for money and strict adherence to procurement regulations. Being an approved supplier on the ESPO framework allows UK CPM to offer its services across various sectors within the public domain, ensuring streamlined processes and reduced administrative burden for its clients.
Framework Benefits to our New and Existing Clients
- Streamlined Procurement: Clients benefit from simplified and expedited procurement processes. Frameworks like these enable direct selection or mini-competitions, which streamline the acquisition of goods and services.

- Quality Assurance and Compliance: Being a part of these frameworks means that UK CPM has met predefined quality and compliance standards, reassuring clients that they are engaging with a reliable and vetted supplier. This pre-qualification reduces the effort and resources that clients would otherwise spend on due diligence.
- Risk Mitigation: With rigorous evaluation and continuous monitoring, frameworks mitigate risks associated with procurement, providing an additional layer of security and assurance in service delivery.
- Access to Innovation: Frameworks often encourage suppliers to offer innovative solutions as part of their bid to remain competitive, which means clients have access to the latest and most efficient technologies and services.
