Templant & the Framework
The NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) Hard Facilities Management 3 framework agreement (SBS10524) gives NHS and wider public sector organisations a compliant route to market for maintaining the physical assets of their buildings, keeping them safe for the patients, visitors and staff who use them every day.
Templant have been named as a supplier under Lot 10.1 Hire – Electrical Back up Plant. Estates, facilities and capital teams can hire generators and back-up power directly from our own rental fleet, without running a full tender of their own.
Whether you need cover for a planned shutdown, a fixed generator replacement or an unexpected outage, we can supply back-up power for a single site or support you across your estate.
Helping you take advantage of the framework
We keep critical sites powered. With depots in Essex, Manchester and Glasgow, our own in-house maintained fleet and a team on call 24/7, we can respond quickly when you need back-up power and keep disruption to your services to a minimum.
Through Lot 10.1, Templant can provide:
- Generator hire for planned maintenance and replacement of fixed generators
- Back-up power for scheduled electrical shutdowns and infrastructure upgrades
- Emergency cover following an outage or equipment failure
- Temporary power for estates and refurbishment works
- 20 kVA to 1,250 kVA diesel generators
Every generator is serviced by our own engineers every 500 hours of use, or to the manufacturer’s specification, whichever comes first. And when you call, you speak directly to someone who can talk through your requirement and get equipment moving.
