Summary of the contracting process

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured quantity surveying services for an MRI replacement and DEXA scanner room refurbishment project. The requirement covers professional quantity surveying support for refurbishment works associated with replacing MRI equipment and upgrading the DEXA scanner room. The work is classified as quantity surveying services and falls within the services category. Delivery is in England, for the Trust’s hospital estate. The buying organisation is Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, with sourcing managed through the North West London Procurement Service. This is a healthcare capital-project requirement rather than the supply of imaging equipment itself, so it is relevant to quantity surveyors with experience supporting hospital refurbishment and specialist diagnostic-imaging environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 14 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 21 August 2026 for £31,596 including the stated GBP currency, with a contract period from 21 August 2026 to 17 August 2027. Christopher Smith Associates was selected as the supplier for the full requirement. The published tender value and awarded value are both £31,596. The procurement was presented as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The evaluation basis is not described in the available procurement information.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to provide quantity surveying expertise for healthcare refurbishment, with the ability to support projects involving MRI replacement and DEXA scanner room works. Relevant experience would include cost management, measurement, estimating, procurement support and commercial administration for building or estates projects, particularly where specialist clinical equipment affects the construction scope. Suppliers should understand the coordination, disruption and technical interfaces associated with hospital environments, while maintaining reliable commercial control through delivery. The award to a specialist SME shows that focused consultancy capability can satisfy this buyer’s requirement, although the procurement itself was marked unsuitable for SMEs. Firms already established on the relevant framework, or able to secure future framework access, would be best placed to compete through the same route.
