Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured mechanical and electrical building consultancy services for an acute-floor project. The requirement covers M&E consultancy associated with the acute floor, rather than construction works or the supply of equipment. Delivery is in Lincoln, within the East Midlands, at the location identified by postcode LN2 5QY. The buyer is the NHS Trust, whose sites and facilities form the operational context for the requirement. This is therefore relevant to building-services consultancies with experience advising on mechanical and electrical systems in complex healthcare or similarly demanding occupied-building environments, particularly where coordinated technical advice is needed for an acute clinical area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Couch Perry & Wilkes LLP on 20 July 2026. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender submission deadline on 22 June 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value range was £50,000 to £70,000, and the awarded value was £70,000. The contract period runs from 9 July 2026 to 31 March 2030. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The opportunity was classified as building consultancy services and treated as a services procurement. The recorded process does not set out separate lots or a detailed weighted evaluation breakdown.

This award provides a clear indication of the Trust’s demand for specialist mechanical and electrical building consultancy on acute-floor projects, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need the technical capability to advise across M&E building systems, coordinate disciplines and produce dependable consultancy outputs for a clinical environment. Experience of healthcare estates, acute-care settings, live hospital sites, statutory compliance and the practical constraints of working around patients and clinical operations would strengthen a supplier’s position. Businesses should also be able to operate within a framework-based route, respond to a defined call-off scope and demonstrate the capacity to support a substantial multi-year requirement for an NHS teaching trust.
