Summary of the contracting process

North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust procured programme management services for enabling works. The requirement supports a project during a period when a programme management post is vacant, so the supplier provides interim programme management and construction consultancy capability rather than construction works themselves. Delivery is in Peterborough, at the Trust’s Bretton Gate location. The procurement is categorised as services and classified under CPV 71530000, construction consultancy services. It is relevant to consultancies and professional services firms that can provide programme management for healthcare or other complex construction-related projects, particularly where the client needs experienced cover for a vacant project role. The buyer is North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, serving its project requirements in Peterborough.

This procurement has been awarded. It used a direct award under framework SBS10190, described as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. Northmores was awarded the contract on 4 September 2026 for £56,332.50 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender period ended on 31 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, and the process is recorded as complete. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Northmores is the sole named awarded supplier, so the awarded value and contract period relate to that single supplier and requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates a defined NHS demand for short-term programme management support linked to enabling works and a vacant project post. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need practitioners able to provide immediate programme oversight, coordinate project activity and advise on construction-related delivery within a healthcare environment. Relevant strength would include construction consultancy experience, programme controls, stakeholder coordination and the capacity to provide an appropriately senior interim resource for a focused assignment. The route also shows that access to framework SBS10190, or an equivalent public-sector framework route, can be commercially important. SME suitability indicates that a specialist consultancy with sufficient delivery capacity may compete without needing the scale of a major national contractor.
