Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured project management services for the SACH Endoscopy Project during RIBA Stage 5, covering a prolongation of the project management requirement. The work falls within construction consultancy services and supports the delivery of an endoscopy project for the Trust. The named buying organisation is West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. The procurement record classifies the main category as goods, although the described requirement is consultancy and project management work. The requirement is therefore relevant to construction consultancies, project management practices and firms experienced in managing healthcare capital projects through the later construction and completion stage. It is focused on extending project management support for a defined endoscopy development rather than supplying clinical equipment or providing clinical services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 17 July 2026 to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited. The award value is £166,996. The contract runs from 28 April 2026 to 28 April 2027. The estimated procurement range was £66,000 to £167,000. The requirement was handled as a selective procedure and described as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender description stating that it was a direct award under framework SBS HPCCAS10190. The tender submission deadline was 1 April 2026 at 12:00. One active award is recorded, to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited. The procurement used a single requirement rather than separately described lots, and the published suitability information states that it was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for specialist project management support on an NHS endoscopy capital project at RIBA Stage 5. A credible future competitor would need construction consultancy capability, project management experience and a practical understanding of the later stages of healthcare construction schemes. Relevant strengths would include coordinating delivery, managing project prolongation, working with clinical and estates stakeholders, and maintaining control of programme, risk, cost and quality through completion. The route to market is also significant: the requirement was called off from a framework and awarded directly under SBS HPCCAS10190. Suppliers would therefore need appropriate framework access or a route into equivalent public-sector construction consultancy frameworks, together with the scale and capacity expected for Trust-led capital projects.
