The public procurement process for "Civil and Structural Engineering Consultancy Services" has been completed by the Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located at Marlborough Road, Swindon, UK. This process was executed under the industry category of "services", specifically focused on civil engineering consultancy services. The award phase culminated on 25th June 2026, following a direct procurement method, which did not involve competition, as it was below the threshold. The awarded contract ran from 5th February 2026 to 31st March 2026, with a gross value of £18,000. The legal basis is supported by UK legislation (2023/54), ensuring compliance throughout the process.

Businesses like Craddys, a large supplier based in Bristol, have been successful, indicating that firms with significant scale and expertise in providing such services stand a good chance in similar future contracts. Organisations looking to expand in the UK health sector through specialised consultancy services may find similar contracts advantageous, especially if they can deliver comprehensive estates and facilities solutions aligned with the RIBA stages.
