Summary of the contracting process

Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust commissioned building consultancy for its TGU seclusion rooms. The work is to develop an integrated, coordinated design that meets the Trust’s clinical, operational and statutory requirements, with particular attention to mental health design standards, patient safety, ligature risk management and relevant healthcare guidance. The procurement is for consultancy services, rather than construction works. The delivery location is given as the United Kingdom; no more specific project location is identified in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ARCHUS LIMITED through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 17 September 2026. The awarded value is £348,934.79. The contract period runs from 17 September 2026 to 16 September 2028. The supplier was selected to provide the consultancy design service for the Trust’s TGU seclusion rooms. The stated evaluation basis is not detailed in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates demand for specialist building consultancy on mental health seclusion-room design within an NHS trust setting. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to show they can coordinate a design solution around clinical and operational needs as well as statutory compliance, and apply mental health design standards to patient safety and ligature-risk management. Experience translating relevant healthcare guidance into practical, integrated design would be directly relevant. The work is a substantial, multi-year consultancy assignment rather than a small, discrete advisory task, so credible competitors would need the capacity to sustain design coordination and support throughout the contract period. The route used was a framework call-off, making framework access and the ability to compete through that route commercially relevant. The selected supplier is identified as an SME, although SME suitability was marked false.
