This award provides a clear example of Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust buying specialist architectural support for a defined hospital refurbishment or development requirement. Competitors would need to demonstrate architectural capability relevant to clinical environments, particularly frailty assessment, same day emergency care and hospital ward settings. Experience of working within operational NHS estates would help establish credibility, including understanding patient flows, clinical adjacencies, infection control, safeguarding, accessibility, building regulations and the practical constraints of construction in a live healthcare setting. The route also shows the importance of access to an appropriate framework agreement, since this requirement was let as a framework call-off. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a capable smaller practice could be well placed where it has relevant healthcare design experience and framework access.
