Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant commissioned architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services for the design of refurbishment works at Newcastle Donor Centre. The requirement covers the design phase of the centre’s refit; a separate building contract is intended to follow. The procurement is categorised as professional design and engineering services, rather than construction delivery itself. The work is associated with Newcastle in the North East of England. NHS Blood and Transplant is the buying organisation. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it is relevant to design practices, multidisciplinary built-environment consultancies and specialist firms able to support healthcare or operational premises refurbishment. Businesses considering comparable work should distinguish this design commission from the later construction stage, which is a separate requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 5 June 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 25 June 2026 to Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd for £146,494 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 8 June 2026 to 7 August 2026. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated as a services contract for design-related architectural, construction, engineering and inspection work. No lots are identified. The recorded outcome therefore relates to one supplier and one requirement. The completed process shows the route used by NHS Blood and Transplant for this particular donor-centre design commission.

This award is relevant to firms that combine architectural design with construction, engineering or inspection capability for refurbishment projects in operational healthcare premises. Credible competitors would need to show they can develop a practical donor-centre refit design, coordinate the relevant technical disciplines and work within NHS Blood and Transplant’s framework-based purchasing route. Experience of healthcare, clinical, laboratory, blood-donation or similarly controlled environments would help demonstrate an understanding of safety, continuity of operations, compliance and stakeholder coordination, although the published requirement does not state specific accreditations. The short commission indicates a need for a supplier with an established design team, effective coordination and capacity to move from design into information that can support a subsequent building contract. SME participation is expressly supported, making this relevant to appropriately experienced smaller consultancies as well as larger contractors with in-house design capability.
