Summary of the contracting process

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust commissioned architectural services for the refurbishment of the Albert, Somerset and Samaritan wards in London. The work covers ward refurbishment and associated construction consultancy, with delivery described across RIBA stages 2 to 6. The requirement is classified as construction consultancy services (CPV 71530000) and is intended for a healthcare setting within the Trust's London estate. The appointed architect is expected to support the project from design development through the later stages of the refurbishment programme. This is a specialist healthcare design and construction consultancy requirement rather than a general building works contract, so it is most relevant to architectural practices with experience of complex hospital or ward environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Hunter and Partners Limited (t/a Hunters). It was run as a selective call-off from the NHSSBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services framework, under Lot 01 Architectural Services. The tender period ended on 31 March 2026 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value was £290,000 to £294,457, while the award value was £290,000. The award date was 1 April 2026, and the contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active. The published information identifies the selected supplier and confirms that the procurement used a framework call-off route rather than an open standalone competition.

This award indicates demand from Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust for architectural support on ward refurbishment programmes, delivered through a specialist healthcare construction consultancy framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need architectural capability spanning design development, technical delivery and construction-stage services across RIBA stages 2 to 6. Experience of hospital environments, live clinical settings, ward planning, refurbishment constraints and stakeholder coordination would be directly relevant. Firms should also be able to demonstrate the capacity and quality controls needed to manage a substantial healthcare project through design and delivery. The successful route shows that suppliers seeking similar work with this Trust may need access to, and the credentials required for, the relevant NHS framework and its architectural services lot.
