Summary of the contracting process

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist design consultancy services for a test borehole project. The requirement covers designing the test borehole, carrying out the associated surveys and preparing the specification needed to define the work. This is a services contract rather than a supply or construction contract. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust, based on Westminster Bridge Road in London. The procurement relates to delivery in the United Kingdom, with the recorded delivery postcode SE13 6LH. Businesses relevant to this requirement include consultancies with experience of borehole design, site investigation, technical surveying and preparation of clear engineering specifications for public-sector or infrastructure projects. The work is a focused technical consultancy assignment, rather than a general construction package or routine facilities-management service.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 25 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the award date was 31 March 2026. Veolia ES (UK) Limited was selected as supplier for an awarded value of £175,507.81 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 2 November 2026. The published procurement value and the award value are the same: £175,507.81. The opportunity was identified as a services requirement and was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, with no cancellation or termination recorded.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from an NHS foundation trust for a defined package of borehole-related technical consultancy. A credible competitor would need the capability to design test boreholes, plan and complete appropriate surveys, interpret the resulting technical information and turn it into a usable specification for subsequent works. Experience of working for public-sector clients would help, particularly where outputs must be clearly documented, technically defensible and suitable for procurement or delivery decisions. The call-off route means relevant suppliers would need access to the framework used by the trust, or a position through an eligible framework provider. The stated SME and VCSE suitability settings indicate that future competitors should be established organisations with sufficient specialist capacity and framework access to deliver the complete assignment.
