Summary of the contracting process

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust procured structural and civil engineering design consultancy for the Somerset and Samaritan Wards. The requirement was to appoint a consultant to provide structural and civils design services supporting work at these NHS hospital wards. This is a professional construction consultancy service, classified under CPV 71530000, rather than construction works or the supply of materials. Delivery is in London, at the Trust's address in Great Dover Street, SE1 9RT. The opportunity is relevant to engineering and built-environment consultancies with experience designing structural and civil engineering solutions for healthcare estates, hospital refurbishments or comparable complex buildings, particularly where coordination with an NHS client and the wider design and construction team is required.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at 12:00, and the contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated procurement value was £51,725, with a stated minimum value of £51,000. The contract was awarded on 1 April 2026 for £51,000 to Hunter and Partners Limited (trading as Hunters). The award is active and covers the same one-year period. The published information identifies the requirement and framework call-off route, but does not set out separate lots or detailed quality and price weightings. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, while the opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For firms that did not win this requirement, the award demonstrates demand from Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust for specialist structural and civils design consultancy supporting individual hospital wards. A credible competitor for comparable work would need a combined structural and civil engineering design capability, rather than a single-discipline construction service, and the ability to operate as a consultant within a healthcare capital project. Relevant strength would include producing coordinated designs for complex occupied estates, understanding the constraints of NHS buildings and ward environments, and working effectively with the Trust, architects, contractors and other technical advisers. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy with suitable technical capacity and experience, although the procurement itself was not designated as SME-suitable.
