Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned architect and principal designer services for the refurbishment of Ward 10. The requirement supports refurbishment works, with the appointed professional providing architectural design and principal designer responsibilities for the hospital project. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site at 550 Wilmslow Road, Withington, Manchester, Greater Manchester. This is a professional services procurement rather than a construction contract for carrying out the refurbishment itself. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS organisation. The requirement is therefore relevant to architectural practices and design consultants with experience of refurbishment projects, particularly those able to undertake principal designer duties in a live healthcare environment and coordinate design and compliance requirements.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 30 September 2025 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 1 October 2025 to 1 August 2026. The contract was awarded on 1 October 2025 to Gilling Dod Limited for £56,400 GBP. The award is active. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £56,400 GBP. The recorded suitability assessment states that the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The process concerns one refurbishment requirement, with the award made to a single supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for combined architectural and principal designer support on hospital refurbishment. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need an architectural design team able to develop and coordinate refurbishment proposals, alongside a suitably qualified individual or service capable of carrying out principal designer responsibilities. Relevant experience of healthcare environments, NHS estates, refurbishment planning and working within an occupied hospital would strengthen a supplier’s position. The successful supplier was recorded as an SME, showing that specialist firms can deliver this type of professional service through the buyer’s framework route. Businesses should therefore focus on maintaining relevant framework access, demonstrable healthcare refurbishment capability and robust design-risk and compliance management.
