Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust has recently completed a procurement process titled "NEC Project Management and Cost Management Support" related to the Worthing Heat Network. This procurement falls under the 'services' category, specifically engaging in project management consultancy services. The procurement was conducted using a direct award method as part of a continued service provision with Artelia Projects UK Limited, a large supplier, under Lot 2 of the SBS framework. The contract, which was officially awarded on 1st December 2025, is set to commence on 15th December 2025 and will run until 16th September 2027. The primary location for this contract is Worthing, in the region designated as UKJ. Notable deadlines include a scheduled milestone for the future signature date on 5th December 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in project management consultancy services, especially those with the capacity to engage in long-term projects with public authorities. The direct award process, justified by the ongoing working relationship between the Trust and Artelia, indicates an emphasis on project continuity and reliability, which could be appealing to consultancies with established track records in such environments. Businesses in the construction and project management sectors, particularly those accustomed to working under frameworks and delivering high-value service contracts, are well-positioned to harness growth opportunities similar to this in public sector procurement.
