Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust procured a capital projects core team to support its building and facilities management programme. The requirement is principally project management and construction consultancy for capital works, procured through the SBS Construction Consultancy Framework. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s estate in the South East of England. The procurement is classified under CPV 79993000, covering building and facilities management services, although the tender records its main category as goods. The buying organisation is West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust, an NHS Trust based in Welwyn Garden City. The work is therefore relevant to firms providing project management and construction consultancy services for healthcare capital projects, particularly those able to operate within an NHS estate environment and participate through the relevant framework route.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 23 March 2026 to GSCI Consultants Limited. The award value is £192,314.80, with the estimated tender value recorded as £192,314.80 and a minimum value of £190,000. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 August 2026. Bids were due by 9 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The route was a selective procedure and a call-off from the SBS Construction Consultancy Framework, described as a direct award under framework SBS10190, Lot 2 for project management. The award is active. The procurement record identifies the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. GSCI Consultants Limited is the named supplier.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for firms seeking comparable healthcare capital-project work from West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust. A credible future competitor would need demonstrated project-management capability for capital works, construction consultancy expertise and the capacity to provide a core team supporting an NHS estate. Access to the SBS Construction Consultancy Framework, particularly its project-management provision, is central to this purchasing route, so firms outside that framework would need to consider how they could qualify or work through an eligible framework supplier. The recorded SME and VCSE suitability settings indicate that the buyer is targeting established commercial providers rather than reserving the requirement for smaller or community-sector organisations. Relevant healthcare, building and facilities-management experience would strengthen a supplier’s position.
