Summary of the contracting process

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured construction consultancy services focused on mechanical and engineering work. The requirement sits within the SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services framework, indicating support for healthcare-related construction planning and delivery rather than the supply of physical building materials. The buying organisation is Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, based at Portland House, Richmond Road, Worthing. Delivery is associated with Worthing, West Sussex, and the wider England region. The procurement is categorised as construction consultancy services (CPV 71530000) and is a services contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement include construction consultancies with mechanical and engineering expertise that can support an NHS foundation trust’s built-environment and construction programmes through a framework call-off.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust selected Eta Projects Limited. The award was made on 28 July 2026 for £170,000 including the stated currency, with a contract period from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026 at 12 noon. The route was a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services framework. The award is active. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £170,000. The process concerns one construction consultancy services requirement, covering mechanical and engineering work in Worthing and England. Participation was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust for specialist mechanical and engineering construction consultancy delivered through a healthcare services framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable expertise in construction consultancy, particularly mechanical and engineering disciplines, and the ability to work within NHS healthcare planning and construction environments. Relevant capability includes advising on the mechanical and engineering aspects of construction programmes and providing dependable consultancy support to a public-sector healthcare client. Experience of operating through framework call-offs would be important, as would the organisational capacity to deliver a complete consultancy requirement for the trust rather than a narrow, standalone technical input. The buyer’s decision also indicates that this requirement was not presented as SME-suitable.
