Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned architect services under the NHP programme. The requirement covers professional architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, with the procurement classified under CPV 71000000. The work is associated with the Trust and is to be delivered at WD18 0HB in the East of England. The buyer is the NHS Trust, based at Fretherne Road, Welwyn Garden City. This is a professional services requirement rather than the supply of physical goods, despite the procurement category being recorded as goods. The appointed provider is responsible for the architectural service scope required by the Trust’s NHP project, working within the arrangements of the framework used for the call-off.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the SBS10190 framework. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value was between £100,000 and £240,000, and the contract was awarded to Gilling Dod Limited for £230,877. The award date was 21 July 2026. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active, with Gilling Dod Limited identified as the selected supplier. The outcome demonstrates that the Trust used an established framework route to appoint an architectural services provider for a defined NHS capital or estate-related requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of demand for NHS architect-led professional services within West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need architectural capability combined with construction, engineering and inspection expertise, and the ability to operate effectively within a public-sector framework call-off. Experience of healthcare environments, NHS estates, clinical constraints, compliance, stakeholder coordination and delivery assurance would be commercially relevant. The requirement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so competing organisations would need sufficient scale, specialist resource and capacity to manage a substantial, multidisciplinary commission. Familiarity with the NHP programme and framework procurement processes would also strengthen future positioning.
