Summary of the contracting process

University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured patient accommodation services for people undergoing proton beam therapy and radiotherapy at UCLH and Proton International. The requirement is classified as accommodation services, with the awarded service further described as hotel services. Work is centred on accommodation provision in London for patients receiving treatment through these hospitals. The procurement covers one service requirement rather than separate work packages. It is relevant to hotel groups, serviced-apartment operators and other accommodation providers able to support healthcare-related stays and work with a major NHS hospital. The buyer is University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at 250 Euston Road, London.

This completed procurement used an above-threshold open procedure. The contract was evaluated on quality, weighted at 70%, and commercial submission, weighted at 30%. Two valid bids were received, and both HWC Apartments Limited and StayCity UK Ltd were awarded the requirement. Each award is worth £4,774,255.96 excluding VAT, or £5,729,107.15 including VAT. Both awards were made on 22 July 2026. Each contract is due to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with a maximum extent to 30 September 2031 through two 12-month extensions. A standstill period ends on 4 August 2026, and contract signature is scheduled for 1 September 2026.

This award demonstrates sustained NHS demand for accommodation linked to specialist cancer treatment, with two established large accommodation providers selected for the same requirement. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this type would need suitable hotel or serviced-apartment capacity in London, reliable arrangements for patients attending UCLH and Proton International, and the operational ability to manage healthcare-related accommodation at scale. The evaluation shows that a strong, evidenced service offer is more important than price alone: quality carries substantially greater weight than the commercial submission. Relevant businesses include hotel operators, aparthotel groups and accommodation specialists able to provide consistent patient-focused service, manage referrals and bookings, and demonstrate delivery capability to an NHS organisation.
