Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust procured services for its Backlog Maintenance Programme 2026/27. The requirement covers project management consultancy for healthcare planning and construction, together with associated ancillary services, under the Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services arrangement. This is a professional services contract supporting the Trust’s maintenance programme rather than the delivery of construction works itself. The work is for the Trust’s estate in the South East of England, with a delivery location identified in the AL7 1BW area. The buying organisation is Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. The procurement is categorised as services and is relevant to consultancies providing healthcare estate, construction project management or related advisory support.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 11 May 2026 at 12 noon. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 30 April 2027. The estimated value was between £36,000 and £36,100, and the awarded value was £36,100, all in GBP. The contract was awarded on 25 May 2026 to Drees & Sommer UK Limited. There was one award and no lots are identified. The award covers the backlog maintenance programme services described above. The published outcome records the supplier as active and the tender as complete.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from an NHS trust for specialist support in managing healthcare estate maintenance and associated construction activity. Competitors considering similar future requirements would need credible healthcare planning and construction consultancy capability, supported by experience of project management in operational or regulated environments. Useful capability is likely to include coordinating maintenance programmes, advising on construction-related priorities, managing consultants and contractors, and working within NHS estate, governance and compliance requirements. Firms with the capacity to deliver professional services across the South East, and with a track record that can be evidenced through comparable public-sector or healthcare projects, would be better placed to compete when this type of requirement returns. The framework call-off route also indicates that access to the relevant purchasing arrangement is commercially significant.
