UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by the West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation Trust involves the development of a new ambulance facility in Shrewsbury. This direct award is intended for Opus Land Limited, identified as the only suitable developer due to exclusive site rights. The procurement falls under the "works" category, focusing on building construction. The project location is set in Shrewsbury, with the contract period scheduled from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2029. This procurement is already in the award update stage, and milestones include a future contract signature date by 31st August 2026.

This opportunity presents a significant growth prospect for developers specialising in large-scale construction projects, particularly those with a focus on medical facilities or public infrastructure. Given the direct award nature, businesses with exclusive development rights or unique geographical insights would find themselves well-suited to compete. The gross contract value of £16,000,000 underscores the substantial economic impact and development potential associated with this project, ensuring that successful applicants can leverage this for business expansion and stronger market positioning.
