Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust procured construction consultancy services for the Sussex Cancer Centre, specifically cost adviser services under Lot 2. The work covers cost advice associated with the construction programme, supporting the Trust in managing and controlling project costs. The procurement is categorised as construction consultancy services (CPV 71530000) and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s programme office at St Mary’s Hall, Eastern Road, Brighton, East Sussex, postcode BN2 5JJ. The requirement is relevant to firms providing commercial management, quantity surveying or construction cost consultancy services for major healthcare or public-sector building projects.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 24 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. McBains Ltd was awarded the contract on 10 February 2026 for £226,330. The contract runs from 10 February 2026 to 31 March 2029. The award is active and covers the full cost adviser requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The contracting route indicates that suppliers needed to be eligible participants in the relevant framework and able to provide the required construction consultancy services through its call-off process.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust for external cost advisory support on a substantial healthcare construction programme. A competitor seeking similar work would need strong construction cost consultancy capability, including the ability to advise a public-sector client throughout a multi-year building project and to manage commercial information associated with construction delivery. Experience in healthcare or other complex public buildings would help establish credibility, although the published requirement does not identify a specific accreditation or technical qualification. The award was suitable for SMEs, showing that a specialist practice of modest scale can compete where it has the relevant cost management expertise, public-sector procurement readiness and access to the required framework route.
