Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured a consortium design team fee for works to a procedure room in Bevan Ward. The requirement is for construction consultancy services supporting healthcare planning and construction-related design activity. Delivery is at the Trust’s site in the East of England, associated with postcode CM20 1QX. The buying organisation is The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust. The procurement was arranged through the Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services framework, specifically its construction consultancy lot. The requirement concerns professional design-team input rather than construction works carried out directly by a building contractor. It is therefore most relevant to healthcare design practices, multidisciplinary design teams and construction consultants able to support hospital refurbishment or clinical-space projects.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on 10 September 2026 to Castons Consulting Limited. The awarded value is £35,000, with an estimated minimum value of £32,000. The contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. The tender submission deadline was 9 September 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was treated as a services procurement, with the route restricted to suppliers on the relevant framework lot. The award records show an active award to Castons Consulting Limited. No separate lotting or detailed scoring breakdown is set out for this call-off, and the procurement was completed as a direct framework award rather than an open competition.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it indicates demand from The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust for specialist design-team support on clinical refurbishment and procedure-room works. Businesses that would be credible for a future requirement of this type would need experience in healthcare planning and construction consultancy, particularly in environments where clinical functions, patient safety, infection control and operational continuity affect design decisions. A suitable supplier would be able to contribute to a coordinated multidisciplinary team and provide practical design advice for hospital works. Experience of public-sector healthcare projects, the ability to work through an established consultancy framework, and capacity to deliver focused assignments for NHS estates programmes would strengthen a competitor’s position when similar requirements return to market.
