Making a difference – SEH French’s work through the NHS SBS framework

SEH French is proud to be on the NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) framework agreement.

We have been part of the framework since 2020, and as a trusted supplier have had the opportunity to work on a number of exciting public sector projects.

The framework gives public sector bodies, including the NHS, a pre-approved list of companies with a history of providing exceptional service, with clear pricing upfront, making their large infrastructure projects easier to manage and keep within budget.

SEH French has secured eight projects through the framework to date, including works at Hellesdon Hospital, Norwich Community Hospital, West Suffolk Hospital, Southcott Lower School and Dovercourt Fire Station.

We have recently completed work at Norwich Community Hospital ahead of schedule.

Work on the Woodlands project began in June 2026 and has seen the demolition and rebuild of offices across two floors, creating open-plan spaces that better fit their requirements.

Works included adding fire protection to structural steelwork, new flooring, new suspended ceilings and remodelling works for a new toilet area on the ground floor.

These NHS and public sector projects mean a lot to us, they directly affect the lives of people in our community, so it’s always a huge pleasure to be part of them.

They impact the lives of thousands of people, so being part of their delivery is something we are immensely proud of.

The framework has also recently achieved Gold Standard Verification, an independent recognition of procurement excellence, which gives those tending work huge peace of mind knowing it provides the highest level of quality and compliance.

Neil Pryke, Contacts Manager at SEH French, said: “The framework is very important to us, not just as a way to secure work on large infrastructure projects, but as an opportunity to work on schemes that really matter to people.

“It is nice to know the hard work our colleagues put in on site will contribute in some way to saving lives and increasing people’s wellbeing.

“We would also like to congratulate the framework for achieving Gold Standard Verification, it is well deserved.”
