Welcome to our new website section looking at how eContrack is being used by different sectors in the marketplace.

This article focuses on the Health sector.



The Health Sector

NHS LIFT

NHS LIFT (Local Improvement and Finance Trust) is a major Department of Health initiative, which aims to stimulate investment in modern integrated primary and other community based services. Launched in 2001, some 51 LIFT projects have been established across England.

Each LIFT project works through a Joint Venture company (LIFTCo) established between the local NHS, Partnerships for Health and a private sector partner, identified through competitive procurement.

LIFTCos are responsible for planning, designing, constructing and maintaining new or replacement primary and community health and social care facilities over a 20-25 year period. The premises developed by a LIFTCo are normally owned by it and leased (under a Lease Plus Agreement) to the relevant PCT or other public sector authority.

Measuring LIFT Co Performance

BSL is working with a number of LIFT Cos to meet their performance measurement obligations:

• Construction Framework Agreement KPIs
• Estate Management Framework KPIs
• ERIC returns
• AEDET Assessments
• NEAT Assessments
• User Satisfaction Surveys
• Premises Assessments
• Supply Chain Management
• Value for Money Comparisons

BSL has developed a performance framework in eContrack Benchmark to meet LIFT Co requirements.
