Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence recently concluded a procurement process for legal advisory services pertaining to the construction of a replacement hospital building at RAF Lakenheath, known as Hospital 2. This process involved creating a standardised NEC4 ECC contract template. The procurement, classified under 'Legal advisory services', was conducted using a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, with a total value of £20,000, was awarded to Burges Salmon Company Limited, a large enterprise based in Bristol. The contracting authority is situated in the East of England, with significant activities related to public defence projects. The procurement process's key dates include the tender period end on 6th November 2025, with the contract commencing on 7th November 2025 and concluding on 30th November 2026.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in legal advisory and construction contract services. Companies adept in frameworks like NEC4 ECC and offering consultancy for large-scale construction projects, particularly those aligned with public defence sectors, would find such tenders beneficial.
