Summary of the contracting process

East London NHS Foundation Trust is buying refurbishment and modernisation works to expand the Section 136 unit at Jade Ward, Luton Centre for Mental Health. The scope is set out in the tender specification, with the stated procurement categories covering refurbishment and building construction. The work is for a mental health facility; the supplied delivery location identifies England but gives no specific site address beyond the named hospital and ward. This is a building works requirement for contractors able to carry out refurbishment within a healthcare setting. The intended outcome is an expanded Section 136 unit at Jade Ward, rather than a general-purpose construction project.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure below the applicable threshold. The process reached the tender stage. The stated tender submission deadline was 19 October 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period runs from 15 December 2026 to 25 March 2027. The estimated contract value is £525,000. The procurement is presented as a single requirement, with no separate lots described. No evaluation criteria or weightings are set out in the supplied process details, so a bidder cannot determine the scoring basis from these particulars. The tender description directs interested suppliers to apply through the buyer’s e-sourcing portal; this is the stated route for participation.

This opportunity is suited to building contractors with the capability to refurbish and modernise an existing mental health facility, including delivering works that expand a specialist ward unit. Suppliers should be able to manage construction activity in a healthcare environment and deliver the specified works within the planned contract period. The buyer has marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that smaller firms and those organisation types may find the opportunity less suited to their business. The stated scope does not identify particular accreditations, named technical disciplines, staffing requirements or prior-project qualifications, so businesses should assess the tender specification for the detailed delivery requirements before deciding whether to compete.
