Summary of the contracting process

The Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust (MSEFT) has awarded a contract to NOVINITI LIMITED for a Ground Lease concerning land at Southend Hospital, with the aim of facilitating the development of clinical spaces, including a Day Surgery Unit. The contract, valued at £50,000, was signed on 14 May 2025, and runs from 15 May 2025 to 12 February 2026. This direct award was made under Schedule 2 paragraph 8 of the Procurement Act 2023, categorised as a works contract and is exempt from certain procurement regulations. The contract is structured as a land contract with no initial development obligations on Noviniti, though future development agreements may be considered, contingent upon mutual agreement and further authorisation by MSEFT.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the construction and healthcare facilities sectors. The focus on hospital facilities construction offers a growth avenue for contractors capable of undertaking healthcare-oriented construction projects. Large-scale firms with expertise in building hospital facilities are ideally suited to compete and collaborate with MSEFT on potential future developments linked to this Ground Lease.
