Interserve, the international support services and construction group, has been appointed as a Supply Chain Partner on the Welsh Government's 'Designed for Life: Building for Wales 3' National Framework.

This framework will run for four years with a two year extension option and covers NHS building projects in Wales with construction values of above £10 million, and is procured and managed by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership - Facilities Services (formerly Welsh Health Estates).


The 'Designed for Life: Building for Wales 3' appointment follows success in October 2011 for Interserve, appointed as a Supply Chain Partner on all three of the Welsh Government's 'Designed for Life: Building for Wales 2' Regional Frameworks. These Regional Frameworks cover NHS building projects in Wales with construction values of between £4 million and £10 million, demonstrating the flexibility and benefits of the company's long established regional and national structure.

Interserve Divisional Director Health, Andrew Jowett said: "This appointment is great news for all our team, enabling us to build upon our strong track record in healthcare infrastructure across the UK. It also represents a significant opportunity for Interserve to support the NHS in its challenge to deliver high quality, equitable and sustainable health services for Wales."
