Summary of the contracting process

NHS Property Services Limited procured construction consultancy services for its Midlands Backlog Maintenance programme in the East Midlands. The scope combines programme and project management with design team, quantity surveying and principal designer services. This is a multidisciplinary assignment supporting the planning and delivery of backlog maintenance work, rather than a contract for construction works themselves. The procurement was run as a further competition under the NHS Shared Business Services Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services framework, within its multidisciplinary services lot. The work is intended for delivery in the East Midlands, United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to W.T. Partnership Limited. The award was made on 1 September 2026, for £1,650,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The tender deadline was 13 August 2026 at noon. NHS Property Services used a limited procedure described as competitive quotation below the applicable threshold, with the competition conducted through an existing NHS SBS framework. The published information identifies construction consultancy as the procurement category but does not set out evaluation weightings or specific award criteria. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate; voluntary, community and social enterprises were not.

For firms that did not win, this award shows NHS Property Services’ demand for integrated consultancy to manage a backlog maintenance programme: programme and project management, design team input, quantity surveying and principal designer duties are brought together in one multidisciplinary requirement. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the capacity to coordinate these disciplines and support maintenance projects across the East Midlands, as well as relevant construction consultancy experience. The incumbent is a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that this scale and mix of services can be delivered by an SME. The route used was a further competition through an NHS SBS consultancy framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need a suitable route into that framework or a comparable route when the requirement returns to market.
