Summary of the contracting process

Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust is spearheading the public procurement process for the project titled "DHC DH1371 St Anns Main Kitchen Ventilation Plant Design and Supervision Service". This procurement falls under the services industry category and is focused on the engineering design required for the hospital's kitchen ventilation system at St Anns Hospital in Poole, UK. The procurement process is now in the Award stage following a limited competition method, below the threshold. The contract was signed on 26th August 2025, with a period slated from 1st September 2025 to 31st March 2026, encompassing an award value of £34,019. The primary objective here revolves around design and supervision tasks pertinent to the ventilation plant.

This tender represents a strategic avenue for business growth, especially for firms specialising in engineering design services. As the project has already been awarded to Thoughtward Ltd, a large-scale supplier, other businesses in similar domains can use this development to insightfully enhance their bid strategies for future tenders with the NHS or other public entities. With limited competition procurement, only those entities with substantial relevant capabilities and a prompt, innovative approach stand poised to compete effectively in such specialised service contracts.
