Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust procured construction consultancy services for the Sussex Cancer Centre, specifically Lot 3 for an NEC Supervisor and cost adviser services. The work supports the delivery of the cancer centre construction programme and is classified as construction consultancy. Services are delivered in Brighton, at the Trust’s site on Eastern Road, BN2 5JJ, within the South East of England. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction works or the supply of goods. It is relevant to firms providing cost consultancy, construction management support and NEC contract supervision for major healthcare or similarly complex capital projects. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with tenders due by 24 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The contract was awarded on 10 February 2026 to Currie & Brown UK Limited for £473,552.93 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 10 February 2026 to 31 March 2029. The procurement covered one requirement described as Sussex Cancer Centre construction consultancy services, Lot 3 NEC Supervisor. The published procurement value and the awarded value are both £473,552.93. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity itself was identified as suitable for SMEs. The procurement category is services.

This award demonstrates established demand from University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust for specialist consultancy on a substantial healthcare construction programme. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in cost advisory work and NEC contract supervision, with the professional capacity to support a complex cancer-centre development and maintain effective contract administration throughout delivery. Experience of working with NHS bodies, major capital schemes, healthcare environments and framework-based call-offs would help a supplier compete effectively, although only the construction consultancy and framework route are evidenced here. Smaller firms may find the requirement commercially relevant because it was assessed as suitable for SMEs. The appointed supplier’s role also indicates that the buyer values an integrated consultancy capability covering financial oversight and independent NEC supervision rather than general construction services alone.
