Summary of the contracting process

Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust sought the design and construction of upgrades to the existing helipad at Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford. The works were intended to bring the helipad into compliance with CAP 1264 and other applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, informed by detailed site surveys, design development and technical assessment. The requirement combined building construction with project management for construction. It was a single, integrated project rather than a set of separately described work packages. The buyer was the NHS Trust, and the delivery site was Darent Valley Hospital. The procurement was reserved for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises based in Kent.

The Trust invited offers through an open competition under the Procurement Act 2023. The process reached tender, but the procurement was subsequently cancelled after an unsuccessful tender process; the Trust stated that it intended to reissue the tender. The enquiry deadline was 2 July 2026 at 12:00, and the submission deadline was 9 July 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period ran from 2 November 2026 to 30 October 2027. The estimated value was £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). The project was divided into one lot. Bids were to be assessed through a capability assessment. Electronic submission was permitted.

This opportunity was suited to Kent-based SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises able to undertake hospital helipad design and construction. Suppliers needed the technical capability to assess an existing helipad, carry out detailed site surveys, develop a design and deliver the upgrade works. They also needed to demonstrate an approach capable of meeting CAP 1264 and all other relevant statutory and regulatory requirements, with compliance established through technical assessment. The combined design, construction and project-management scope favoured businesses able to coordinate these activities as one delivery package, or to assemble a team with the required expertise. The capability assessment made the supplier’s ability to perform the requirement central to evaluation. The cancellation and stated intention to reissue mean interested businesses should look for a subsequent competition before preparing an offer.
