Summary of the contracting process

Stockport NHS Foundation Trust procured architectural consultant services for its estate and related development work. The requirement covered architectural design and wider architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, classified under CPV 71220000 and 71000000. The work was for the Trust, based at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport. It was a single requirement rather than a multi-lot opportunity. The appointed service concerns professional consultancy rather than construction delivery itself, so relevant businesses are architectural practices and multidisciplinary built-environment consultancies able to advise an NHS foundation trust. The procurement was above the applicable threshold and sought a supplier capable of delivering architectural consultancy under the Trust’s specified quality, experience, social value and sustainability requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 2 September 2026 to Gilling Dod Limited. The awarded value is £451,000 excluding VAT, or £541,200 including VAT. The award contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2027. The original estimated value was £735,000 excluding VAT, or £882,000 including VAT, with the lot period set from 31 July 2026 to 31 March 2027 and a possible maximum extension to 31 March 2029 through additional RIBA extensions. It used a selective competitive flexible procedure. Stage 1 was an open shortlisting questionnaire, with the five highest-scoring bidders progressing to Stage 2. Five final-stage bids were received. Evaluation was 100% quality, covering pass/fail and scored criteria for experience, social value and BREEAM.

This award demonstrates demand from Stockport NHS Foundation Trust for architectural consultancy with a substantial professional-services scope and NHS estate context. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable architectural and built-environment experience, including the ability to provide advice spanning architectural design, construction, engineering and inspection services. The selection process placed full emphasis on quality, so practices would need strong evidence to answer a procurement-specific questionnaire rather than relying on price competitiveness. Experience, social value and BREEAM were explicit assessment areas; capability in sustainable building assessment and the ability to present clear social-value commitments would therefore be important. The competition also reached five final-stage bidders, while none of those bidders were SMEs, indicating that comparable suppliers may need sufficient multidisciplinary capacity, organisational resilience and experience to meet the requirement at this scale.
