Summary of the contracting process

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust procured construction consultancy services to support its Ward Refurbishment Programme in London. The requirement was for specialist quantity surveying advice to help develop the commercial approach and contract form for a series of future tenders and multiyear programme contracts. The work supports the programme’s procurement and commercial planning rather than the physical refurbishment of wards. The service falls within construction consultancy (CPV 71530000) and is categorised as a services contract. The programme is intended to serve the Trust’s ward refurbishment needs from financial year 2026/27.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The Trust used a direct call-off from the NHS SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services framework, specifically its Quantity Surveyor lot, under a selective procedure. The tender submission deadline was 25 June 2026 at noon, and the award was made on 2 July 2026. Rider Levett Bucknall UK Limited was selected for an award of £27,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the awarded contract covers the London delivery location.

This award demonstrates demand from a major NHS foundation trust for quantity surveying and commercial consultancy linked to a substantial ward refurbishment programme. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible experience advising on the commercial strategy for construction programmes, shaping contract forms and supporting the development of competitive tenders. Familiarity with healthcare construction environments and the requirements of NHS clients would be commercially relevant. The route also shows the importance of access to the NHS SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services framework, particularly its Quantity Surveyor category. A capable SME with appropriate quantity surveying capacity and programme-level commercial expertise could be well placed for similar requirements from this buyer.
