Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust procured architectural services for fire remediation works at Alexandra Hospital in Worcestershire. The requirement covers architectural services for buildings, supporting the design and professional delivery of remedial work associated with fire-related issues at the hospital. This is a services contract rather than a construction works contract, so it is relevant to architectural practices with experience in building design and refurbishment in a healthcare setting. The procurement was classified under CPV 71221000. The stated delivery postcode is WR5 1DD, which is also associated with the Trust’s address in Worcestershire. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller architectural consultancies as well as larger firms with suitable hospital and remediation capability.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Pinnegar Hayward Design, an SME, on 14 August 2026. The award value is £267,648.07. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The original estimated value was £270,000, with a stated minimum value of £260,000. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 27 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust was the buyer. The award is active and covers the full architectural services requirement. The published procurement category was services, and the tender had a total estimated value range of £260,000 to £270,000 before the award was made.

This award indicates a defined NHS requirement for architectural support on fire remediation at an acute hospital, at a substantial single-project scale. Firms seeking comparable work would need credible architectural expertise for existing healthcare buildings, together with the ability to develop and support remediation proposals in an operational hospital environment. Experience coordinating fire-related design requirements, surveys, technical documentation and delivery interfaces would strengthen a supplier’s position, provided those capabilities are supported by the relevant professional resources. The buyer used a framework call-off and selected an SME, showing that smaller practices can compete through established framework routes where they can demonstrate suitable capacity, healthcare understanding and reliable project management for a complete architectural services commission.
