Summary of the contracting process

East and North Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust commissioned condition survey services for phases 1 and 2 at Hertford County Hospital. The work is to assess the condition of the hospital estate; the procurement is described as part of a wider healthcare planning, construction consultancy and ancillary services framework. Delivery is at Hertford County Hospital in Hertfordshire. This is a specialist building-surveying and healthcare-estate consultancy requirement, rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The Trust is the buyer and the work concerns its hospital facilities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Drees & Sommer UK Ltd on 23 September 2026. The award value is £92,770, against an estimated procurement range of £89,000 to £92,770. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2027. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 23 June 2026 at midday. The procurement was treated as one requirement, with no separate lots described. The available details do not set out evaluation weightings or supplier eligibility tests; the recorded SME and voluntary-sector suitability flags are both false.

The award demonstrates demand from this NHS Trust for condition surveying of hospital buildings, delivered through a healthcare planning and construction consultancy framework. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide building-condition survey expertise suited to a live healthcare estate, with the capacity to cover multiple survey phases and produce work for a hospital client. The selected supplier indicates that established consultancy capability is relevant to this framework call-off route. The recorded suitability flags indicate that the opportunity was not considered suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses in those categories would need to assess whether they can participate through an appropriately qualified framework supplier or consortium. The requirement is focused on surveying the Trust’s hospital estate, not general construction delivery.
