Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured refurbishment works for its intensive therapy unit (ITU). The requirement falls within building and facilities management services and is classified under CPV 79993000. The works are to be delivered at the Trust’s hospital site in Harlow, Essex, with the recorded postcode CM20 1QX. This is a works contract focused on improving or adapting an existing clinical area rather than supplying standalone goods or routine general services. Businesses relevant to this requirement include building contractors and specialist refurbishment providers with experience working in live or operational healthcare environments, particularly where construction activity must be coordinated around patient care, clinical operations and hospital facilities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 15 June 2026 to Artic Building Services Limited. The awarded value is £311,395.71 including the stated contract value, with a minimum estimated value of £300,000. The contract runs from 23 June 2026 to 9 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12:00. The route was a direct award under the SBS10166 Hard FM 2 framework, recorded as a selective procedure and a call-off from a framework agreement. The award is active. The buying organisation is The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, and the recorded award covers the ITU refurbishment works as a single requirement rather than separately identified lots.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for hospital refurbishment delivered through the SBS10166 Hard FM 2 framework. Competitors targeting similar work for this Trust would need a credible route to the relevant framework and the ability to deliver building and facilities management works in an intensive therapy unit. Useful capability would include planned refurbishment, construction coordination, health and safety management, quality control and careful scheduling around clinical operations. Experience in healthcare estates would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where work affects sensitive treatment areas, access arrangements, infection-control expectations and continuity of hospital services. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist contractor can deliver this type of requirement through the framework route.
