Summary of the contracting process

The United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, along with Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust, is planning a procurement process titled "Minor Works Framework". This involves the competitive tendering of services for minor works, repairs, refurbishments, and maintenance. An estimated contract value of up to £60 million in gross terms highlights the potential scope of the project. Located in Lincolnshire (UKF3), this procurement process is in the planning stage, aiming for market engagement with scheduling towards significant milestones such as the pre-engagement sessions on 19th and 26th January 2026. The procurement follows a framework agreement approach, with important dates up to 2029 outlined for its contract period.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in construction and maintenance services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, with the approach designed to improve accessibility and competitiveness in the tendering process. Engaging in this framework could enable businesses to secure a place that aligns with their capacity, allowing for potential growth and increased market presence within the Lincolnshire region and beyond. Businesses can prepare by participating in the planned market engagement sessions and registering interest through the Atamis Tendering Portal.

Planning Information

The Authority is seeking to engage, pre-procurement, with building and works providers. In order to help shape the requirement, we are asking that suppliers provide insights which will help to inform our development of a specification and contract opportunity which is attractive to the market and helps us to improve value for money. The initial aim of the pre-market engagement is to make suppliers aware of the upcoming procurement of this framework and to encourage suppliers to bid for the opportunity for a place on the various Lots. The Authority expects to run some market engagement sessions with the local Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce to present the envisaged procurement structure and latest version of the estimated timetable. This is to try and encourage all suppliers including SMEs that may not be aware of the new Central Digital Platform and the new Procurement Act 2023. The initial Engagement days will be held virtually on the 19th and 26th of January 2026. They are expected to be approximately 60-90 minutes duration. The 2 sessions will be the same, so prospective suppliers will only need to attend one session. Where appropriate, any questions answered during the pre-procurement stage will be shared with all registered suppliers.
