Summary of the contracting process

The Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust has completed its procurement process for the "HCT - Backlog Maintenance Programme 2026/27," classified under project management consultancy services. This tender was part of a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The services were designated for the South East region of the United Kingdom, with key dates including a tender closing on 11th May 2026 and a contract period from 1st June 2026 to 30th April 2027. The award was finalised on 25th May 2026, with a contract value of GBP 36,100.

The winning supplier, Drees & Sommer UK Limited, presents project-related opportunities for businesses focused on consultancy, particularly in healthcare planning and construction consultancy services. Given the procurement method, businesses familiar with framework agreements are better positioned to engage in similar future opportunities. While this tender wasn't specifically designated for SMEs or VCSEs, entities providing specialised support in healthcare project management could benefit through collaboration and subcontracting with suppliers like Drees & Sommer.
