UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Cost Advisor" contract at Somerset NHS Foundation Trust involves the appointment of an independent cost advisor for the Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) programme. The trust is located in Taunton, UK, and this process is part of a central government public authority initiative. Most recently, the procurement has moved to the contract amendment stage, dated 6th February 2026, with previous awards and contracts issued in early February 2026. The procurement method implemented was 'limited competition' due to the values being below the threshold, with the contract running from 5th February 2026 to 31st March 2027. The contracting authority adjusted the contract by adding Peninsula Project Consulting Ltd as suppliers and removing Currie & Brown UK Limited.

This tender creates opportunities for businesses specialising in construction consultancy services, particularly small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like Peninsula Project Consulting Ltd, as well as larger entities capable of meeting the specific needs of the Urgent Treatment Centre programme. The procurement's focus on cost advisory services means that companies with expertise in managing construction budgets and delivering value in public health sector projects will find significant growth opportunities. The structured procurement method, even though limited, suggests the importance of aligning competitive bids closely with the specific project requirements detailed by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.
