Decarbonisation Solutions for Healthcare Framework
Framework Description
Pagabo's Decarbonisation Solutions for Healthcare Framework is a construction framework for cutting carbon in healthcare buildings across the UK. Great Ormond Street Hospital acts as specialist authority, keeping the framework aligned with healthcare needs. It covers works such as specialist heating, cooling and ventilation, renewable energy, better building fabric, low-energy lighting and window replacement, and runs until 30 April 2028.
Context & Use Case
NHS trusts, private healthcare providers and other health bodies use the framework to deliver decarbonisation in buildings that run around the clock and have demanding ventilation and temperature needs. Works often have to be delivered around patients and clinical services, which is why a healthcare-specific route, shaped by a specialist hospital, is useful to estates teams.
Scope of Services
Specialist heating, cooling and ventilation systems Renewable energy, such as solar panels and biomass boilers More sustainable building materials and insulation Energy-saving lighting Replacement of inefficient windows

Who Can Apply
Contractors and M&E specialists with experience of energy and carbon works in live healthcare settings. Appointments have been made, so applications for the framework are closed until it is re-procured, likely before the April 2028 end date.
Buyer Benefits
Health bodies get contractors who understand healthcare environments, through a framework whose design was shaped by a specialist NHS hospital. That lowers the risk of disruption to services and helps trusts deliver projects within the timeframes attached to capital funding.
Next Steps
Appointed contractors should target NHS estates teams with decarbonisation programmes and evidence low-disruption delivery. Others should prepare for re-procurement: build case studies of HVAC, renewable or fabric works in hospitals and clinics, document how you work safely on live clinical sites, and check Pagabo's upcoming frameworks pages through 2027.
How Athena Can Help
Healthcare decarbonisation bids are scored on delivery in live clinical settings. If you hold a place, Athena's healthcare bid writing builds method statements and win themes that show how you protect patients and services.
If you do not, our application service for frameworks can prepare you for the re-procurement and similar NHS estates routes, and our social value and compliance support keeps your bid aligned with current procurement rules, including the Procurement Act 2023.
