Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured principal designer services for an acute floor project. The requirement falls within building consultancy services and is a professional services contract rather than construction work. The work is to be delivered in the East Midlands. The buyer is an NHS teaching hospital trust serving Lincolnshire, so suppliers would be supporting a healthcare capital project through the principal designer role. The stated scope is concise: the procurement is specifically for an acute floor principal designer, rather than a general building consultancy appointment. Businesses operating in architectural, design management, construction consultancy or principal designer services may therefore find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they work on complex public-sector or healthcare buildings.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 July 2026 through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original estimated value was between £40,000 and £50,000, while the award value is £60,000. Castle Owen Construction and Property Consultants Limited was selected as supplier. The award covers the period from 20 July 2026 to 31 March 2030. The tender submission deadline was 22 June 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was classified as services and evaluated through the framework call-off process. The opportunity was not reserved for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement relates to one requirement for principal designer services, with no separate lots identified.

This award shows that United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust uses a framework route to appoint a principal designer for an acute-floor requirement and that the appointment can extend across a multi-year delivery period. Suppliers considering future work for this buyer would need a credible building consultancy and principal designer capability, with the capacity to support an acute-floor project over a sustained period. Access to the relevant framework, or a route to participate through one, would be commercially important because this procurement was a framework call-off rather than an open competition. The successful supplier was classified as an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy can be appointed where it can demonstrate the required professional capability and delivery capacity.
