Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management procured building works to complete the Medicines Manufacturing Centre at the Northumbria Healthcare Manufacturing Hub in Seaton Delaval. The requirement covers construction work for the unfinished MMC facility, supporting the buyer’s healthcare manufacturing operations. Delivery is in the Seaton Delaval area of Northumberland. The appointed contractor is Opus Building Services Limited, based in Boldon Colliery. This is a works contract rather than a supply or routine service opportunity, and is relevant to building contractors with experience completing specialist or operational facilities for public-sector healthcare organisations. The buyer is Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management, whose base is in North Shields.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Opus Building Services Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 10 February 2026 and runs from 13 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £7,463,108 excluding VAT, or £8,955,729.60 including VAT. The contract is an NEC4 Option E cost-reimbursable arrangement and allows instructed modifications where changes are required. A proposed modification recorded an additional value of £3,157,435.18 excluding VAT from 2 April 2026; later amendments cite the contract’s cost-plus structure and modification provisions. The award is active and the contract is active.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management for contractors able to complete a medicines manufacturing facility within a live public healthcare estate. A credible future competitor would need strong building-construction capability, experience delivering complex or specialist facilities, and the resources to manage completion works over a concentrated delivery period. Familiarity with NEC4 Option E and cost-reimbursable or cost-plus administration would be important, including the ability to price transparently, control costs, manage instructed changes and maintain robust records. Suppliers should also be able to coordinate construction activities, respond to evolving requirements and demonstrate reliable delivery for a healthcare-related client. Larger building-services businesses may be particularly well placed, given the scale and specialist nature of the requirement.
