Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured building supplies for its estate across the trust. The requirement is for building materials, rather than construction or installation work, and sits within the goods category. Delivery is associated with Lincoln, with the requirement described as trust-wide. This is a recurring supply requirement for a hospital estate, covering building supplies used across the Trust’s sites. Suppliers whose business is the supply and distribution of building materials are the closest fit; firms focused solely on carrying out building works are less directly aligned with the scope.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to HUWS GRAY LIMITED. The Trust used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 16 October 2026, and the contract runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2029. The awarded value is £150,000. The tender estimated a range from £138,000 to £150,000. The requirement was treated as one trust-wide purchase, with no lot breakdown. The recorded suitability flags exclude SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement data does not set out an evaluation method or detailed award criteria.

The award demonstrates a sustained requirement for building materials across United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust’s estate, at a scale suited to an established supplier able to serve a trust-wide customer. The selected supplier was a large company, and the purchase was made through a framework call-off; competitors would therefore need relevant framework access as well as reliable distribution capacity, broad product availability and the ability to fulfil deliveries across the Trust’s sites. Building-supplies distributors with experience serving public-sector or healthcare estates are the closest match. This is a goods supply opportunity, not evidence of a need for construction services. The Trust’s stated SME and VCSE suitability flags indicate that smaller firms and voluntary-sector suppliers were not considered suitable for this procurement.
