Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust appointed a supplier to provide pre-construction services for a new CDU at its A&E. The requirement is construction consultancy supporting the project before construction begins. The delivery location is Worcester, at the Trust’s site in WR5 1DD. The scope recorded is the Pre-Construction Service Agreement (PCSA); no further project tasks are described.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Seddon Construction Limited on 15 July 2026. The awarded value is £53,744.36. The contract period runs from 8 June to 30 September 2026. The estimated procurement range was £44,000 to £54,000. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 May 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No award evaluation criteria are stated.

This award demonstrates demand from Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust for pre-construction consultancy connected with an A&E development. Competitors would need to show they can provide a PCSA for a healthcare construction project and work effectively with the Trust before construction starts. The selected supplier is a large construction company, indicating that a business with construction-sector capability was chosen, although the award does not state specific technical qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or experience requirements. The procurement was a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need access to the relevant framework route. SMEs were considered suitable, making this type of requirement potentially relevant to smaller firms with appropriate pre-construction expertise.
