Summary of the contracting process

East of England Ambulance NHS Trust procured refurbishment works for the first floor of the University of Essex. The requirement covered refurbishment work, with the Trust as the buying organisation. The work was associated with the University of Essex site and formed part of the Trust’s estate or operational accommodation requirements. The procurement was a single refurbishment requirement rather than a wider programme of separately described services. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would be building and refurbishment contractors able to undertake general internal refurbishment works in an institutional environment. The published scope identifies the work at category level, so suppliers would need to review the tender documents for the detailed construction, technical and delivery requirements before assessing their fit with the requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Thirteen bids were received and all thirteen reached the final stage. The single lot had an estimated value of £70,000 excluding VAT, or £84,000 including VAT. The award was made to Every Project Counts Limited on 20 August 2026 for £70,000 excluding VAT, or £84,000 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. Enquiries closed on 17 July 2026 and bids were due by 31 July 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed. The award criteria were set out in the Invitation to Tender documents, which suppliers were directed to consult.

This procurement provides a clear indication that East of England Ambulance NHS Trust purchases discrete refurbishment works through below-threshold open competition. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in building refurbishment, the capacity to deliver a complete first-floor project within a defined short-term programme, and experience of working in an institutional or public-sector setting. Contractors should be prepared for competition: thirteen bids reached the final stage, while none of those final-stage bids came from SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The successful supplier profile indicates that the requirement was suited to an established refurbishment business able to manage delivery, meet the Trust’s construction requirements and submit a compliant tender against the detailed Invitation to Tender documentation.
