UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the refurbishment of the B12 Neurology Ward, with the contract being awarded to Bray and Slaughter. Situated in Bath, the project falls under the 'works' category, specifically targeting refurbishment work, and aims to enhance productivity and efficiency within the ward. The procurement method used was 'limited' due to it being below the threshold for competition. The contract commenced on 11th November 2025 and is due to end on 31st March 2026, with a gross contract value of £2,793,668. This initiative is part of the Trust's strategy to mitigate risks related to patient safety and fire safety, and aims to improve overall hospital performance and patient outcomes.

This refurbishment project provides substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction and fit-out services, particularly those specialising in healthcare environments. Given the nature of the work, firms with experience in hospital refurbishments and those offering innovative solutions for efficient clinical space utilisation stand to benefit significantly. The project underscores the increasing demand for enhanced healthcare facilities and presents a chance for businesses to demonstrate proficiency in delivering on complex specifications. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Bray and Slaughter, the appointed contractor, can leverage such opportunities to expand their portfolio and strengthen their presence in the healthcare sector.
