Summary of the contracting process

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust appointed a main contractor for capital refurbishment works at the Maternity Assessment Unit in London. The unit is the front door to maternity services and operates as an emergency department, providing round-the-clock care for pregnant women through both scheduled and unscheduled episodes. The scheme addresses an environment considered unsuitable for purpose, including substantial privacy and dignity concerns and a suboptimal clinical setting. The requirement is categorised as building refurbishment works (CPV 45262690). The work is therefore relevant to principal contractors and construction businesses delivering healthcare estate improvements, particularly refurbishment of operational clinical facilities where the finished environment must support urgent patient care and improved privacy. The buying organisation is Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a limited competitive quotation procedure below the public procurement threshold. Bids were due by 13 January 2025 at noon. The estimated procurement value was between £232,000 and £440,000, excluding any further qualification on the published estimate. The contract was awarded on 11 April 2025 to Storm Building Limited for £240,000. The contract period runs from 1 May 2025 to 31 March 3026. The requirement was evaluated through the competitive quotation process. It was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. There were no lots, so the award covers the complete Maternity Assessment Unit capital scheme rather than separate packages for different elements of the works.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from this NHS Trust for a principal contractor capable of delivering refurbishment within a live maternity and urgent-care setting. Businesses well placed for a future requirement of this kind would need construction management capacity, experience coordinating capital works in clinical environments, and the ability to protect patient privacy, dignity, safety and continuity of care while work is carried out. Relevant capability would include planning and delivering alterations to healthcare buildings, managing interfaces with clinical services, and completing work to a standard suitable for a 24-hour maternity assessment function. The stated suitability assessment points towards established contractors able to take responsibility for the full scheme rather than small specialist or community-sector providers.
