Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust commissioned architectural design services for the Weymouth Hospital Neighbourhood Scheme. The work covers feasibility at RIBA Stage 1 and concept design at RIBA Stage 2. It is focused on developing the hospital neighbourhood scheme from early assessment into a concept design, rather than on construction or later design stages. The work is for Weymouth Hospital in Weymouth.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Gilling Dod Limited. The award date was 23 September 2026. The awarded value is £50,000. The contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. The Trust used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 23 September 2026. The published procurement information describes the scope and stage of architectural services but gives no award evaluation basis.

This award demonstrates demand from Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust for architectural input to hospital development, specifically early-stage feasibility and concept design for a neighbourhood scheme. A competitor seeking to meet a similar requirement would need to deliver both feasibility work and concept design, and understand how to develop proposals in a hospital setting. The work is architectural consultancy rather than construction delivery. The call-off route also makes framework participation relevant to suppliers seeking this type of work with the Trust. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller practice was able to secure this commission; the stated suitability information does not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs.
