UMF Year 2 and S106 funding Support for GP Practices
Primary Care Premises: Feasibility, Compliance & Delivery Support
BRP Architects specialise in NHS and primary care premises.
Having delivered over 200 medical centres, our experience within the healthcare sector extends beyond architectural design. We support practices in developing clear, deliverable schemes aligned with NHS estates guidance, funding requirements and operational needs.
With the deadline for Utilisation & Modernisation Fund (UMF) Year 2 Expressions of Interest approaching, and Section 106 (S106) funding available, we are currently assisting practices with:
feasibility layouts and option studies
architects drawings for UMF submissions
conversion of underused space into clinical rooms
reception and patient flow improvements
phased improvement schemes
compliance with HTM / HBN / Infection Control and associated statutory guidance
support through planning, design and delivery stages
As outlined within the EoI guidance:
“For schemes over £50k, the ICB will require architect drawings unless otherwise agreed.”
and:
“The practice is responsible for ensuring all works comply with statutory guidance and relevant standards, including Health Building Notes, HTM and other applicable regulations.”
We combine healthcare architectural expertise with a practical understanding of NHS estates processes — helping practices move from initial ideas towards compliant and deliverable schemes with clarity and confidence.
A Straightforward Starting Point
Whether your practice is exploring a minor reconfiguration, additional consulting capacity, or a wider premises improvement scheme, we are happy to have an initial discussion regarding:
what may be possible within your existing premises
how proposals may align with UMF or S106 funding criteria
feasibility and compliance considerations
likely next steps for progressing a scheme
If your practice has already submitted an EoI, we can still assist with feasibility studies, architect drawings, technical compliance and project development as schemes progress.
