Having completed recent decarbonisation projects for Oxford City Council, Oxfordshire County Council, Somerset County Council and the TBC.London redevelopment for Fore Partnerships, Willmott Dixon will lead the decarbonisation of non-domestic/public buildings in the North of England, Midlands, London and South East, South West and Wales.

Director of frameworks at Willmott Dixon, Chris Farr, said: ‘Frameworks run by NHS SBS are always competitive, which is why we are so proud to be appointed onto this framework. Energy efficiency and estate improvements are at the top of the agenda in the healthcare sector and we are well positioned to use our experience and expertise to make a material difference to net-zero ambitions.

‘The NHS is investing significantly in decarbonisation and we're ready to provide practical, impactful solutions tailored to individual project needs. Our approach involves simplifying the process but still delivering the required results, made possible by bringing together our experts in decarbonisation, development and construction.'

Under a single contract, Willmott Dixon will implement a range of decarbonisation measures, including insulation, solar energy, renewable heating installations, windows, LED lighting, building management systems, air conditioning, cooling and ventilation.

The NHS aims to be the world's first net-zero national health service, aiming for emissions it controls directly to be net zero by 2040 and emissions it can influence to be net zero by 2045.
