Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant procured design services for the fit-out of a new donor and plasma centre in Sunderland. The requirement covers construction-related services, focused on developing the design needed to fit out the new facility. NHS Blood and Transplant is the buying organisation, based at 500 North Bristol Park, Filton, Bristol. The work is associated with the North East and the Sunderland donor centre project. This is a service contract rather than the supply of goods or the delivery of construction works themselves, so it is most relevant to design practices, construction consultancies and firms able to support healthcare or specialist clinical environments. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that businesses of that scale were eligible to participate.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 24 July 2026 to MORGAN SINDALL CONSTRUCTION & INFRASTRUCTURE LTD. The awarded contract value is £156,703.39. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 16 November 2026. It was a selective procedure, conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12:00. The award is active. The buyer evaluated a construction-related design services requirement for the Sunderland centre, with the procurement classified as services. The award was made to one supplier and the published outcome identifies that supplier as Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd. No separate lot structure or detailed award-weighting information is stated in the procurement outcome.

For businesses that did not win, this award is evidence that NHS Blood and Transplant buys specialist design support for new donor and plasma facilities through framework call-offs. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide fit-out design capability, understand construction delivery and be able to work on healthcare environments where donor, plasma-processing and public-facing functions must be accommodated. Experience coordinating designs with a major construction or infrastructure contractor would be relevant, as would the capacity to deliver a defined design package within a short project programme. SMEs were considered suitable, so a smaller specialist practice or consultancy with the right technical capability could compete, either directly or through an appropriate framework position or delivery partnership.
