The requirement is classified as building consultancy services (CPV 71315200) and falls within the services category. Delivery is in Lincoln, at the Trust’s site associated with postcode LN2 5QY, in the East Midlands. The appointed supplier is Gotch Saunders & Surridge LLP trading as GSSArchitecture, an architectural practice based in Kettering. The work concerns the design and consultancy input needed for an acute hospital floor, making it relevant to architectural practices and building consultants with experience of healthcare environments and NHS estates.

The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. The recorded evaluation basis was the procurement conducted through the framework call-off route.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for architectural and building consultancy support on an acute hospital floor within the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust estate. Competitors seeking comparable work from this buyer would need credible architectural capability, building consultancy expertise and an understanding of healthcare construction and refurbishment environments. Experience of designing or advising on acute clinical areas would help demonstrate relevance, alongside the ability to work within NHS estates constraints and coordinate technical, operational and stakeholder requirements. Suppliers would also need to access the relevant framework route, since the requirement was awarded as a framework call-off. The selected practice shows that a specialist SME architectural supplier can deliver this type of hospital consultancy requirement.
