UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust for the project titled "NGH - Children's Garden," aimed at refurbishing an existing outdoor courtyard into a children's play area. The procurement fits within the industry category of refurbishment work and miscellaneous gardening equipment. The location of the work is Northampton, United Kingdom. The procurement process employed an open competition method, which is suitable for below-threshold works. The tender was active with the submission deadline set for 5th June 2026 and the contract period scheduled from 1st July to 30th September 2026. However, as of 15th June 2026, the tender was cancelled due to no compliant bid being received, and the process is now marked as complete.

This procurement opportunity was ideal for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to its below-threshold value. Businesses involved in refurbishment work and those supplying gardening equipment would find this tender relevant to expand their portfolio, especially those with experience operating within sensitive environments like hospitals. The criteria for award of the tender were balanced, with a focus not only on technical and price aspects but also on social value, making it an attractive proposition for businesses looking to showcase their capabilities in delivering value beyond the immediate scope of work.
