Summary of the contracting process

City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited is procuring works to refurbish the existing restaurant at Sunderland Royal Hospital in Sunderland, in accordance with the tender specification. The requirement covers building refurbishment, electrical installation work and mechanical installation work. The work is for the hospital restaurant itself, so suppliers should be able to coordinate construction and building-services activities within a healthcare-site environment. The buyer is based at Sunderland Royal Hospital and the delivery location is Sunderland. This is a single works requirement rather than a supply-only contract, covering the physical improvement and associated installation activities needed to complete the restaurant refurbishment.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries closed on 13 July 2026 at 17:00, and the amended offer deadline is 22 July 2026 at 12:00. Bids may be submitted electronically through the buyer’s procurement portal. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on price at 70% and quality at 30%. The deadline was extended to accommodate changes to the pricing submission requirements, which now provide two pricing options and an amended evaluation methodology.

This opportunity suits refurbishment contractors able to deliver a coordinated package of building works, electrical installations and mechanical installations. Suppliers need the practical capability to work across these disciplines and complete a restaurant refurbishment within the stated contract period. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established regional contractors as well as larger firms with the necessary delivery capacity. Businesses with experience managing multiple trades, sequencing refurbishment activities and working safely around an operational hospital environment are likely to be well placed, provided they can meet the tender specification and demonstrate a credible quality offer alongside competitive pricing.
