NHS Property Services is currently implementing a new corporate website, which will provide access to commonly requested information by the end of the year. This includes information about past and present Board directors, articles of association, annual reports and accounts, modern slavery statement and privacy policy.

In relation to one key element expected from public sector bodies – information on spending and contracts over certain limits – there was a commitment from NHS Property Services to having information systems ready for the end of last year to facilitate this, but the implementation of a more fit-for-purpose procurement platform and contract database will not be complete until 2019.
