Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured capital adviser consultancy support. The requirement falls within construction consultancy services and concerns professional advice linked to the Trust’s capital programme. The work is delivered for the Trust in the East of England. The appointed provider is expected to support the Trust with capital-related consultancy rather than supply physical construction works, materials or general facilities services. This is a specialist professional-services requirement for organisations able to advise a healthcare body on capital activity and associated construction matters. The buyer is West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, which is responsible for the requirement and will use the service in connection with its hospital-related capital needs.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 9 March 2026 to ELECTROLITE CONSULTING LTD. The award value is £52,000. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 30 September 2026. The estimated procurement range was £45,000 to £55,000. The response deadline was 17 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The Trust used a selective procedure and made a direct award through the GCA LVPS Framework RM6237, described as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award is active. Evaluation resulted in one selected supplier, with the procurement classified as a services contract for capital adviser consultancy support. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

This award provides a clear indication that West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust buys specialist capital advisory support alongside construction consultancy expertise. A credible future competitor would therefore need demonstrable capability in capital advice, construction-related consultancy and the practical requirements of supporting a hospital or NHS trust. Familiarity with public-sector procurement routes is also important: this requirement was placed through the GCA LVPS Framework RM6237 using a dynamic purchasing system call-off and a direct award. Suppliers should be able to deliver focused professional advice to a healthcare client, work within a defined consultancy assignment and demonstrate sufficient organisational capacity for a specialist NHS capital requirement. The stated suitability position indicates that the buyer is targeting established providers rather than SMEs or VCSEs.
