Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust procured a decarbonisation project classified as environmental improvement works. The requirement was for work supporting the Trust’s decarbonisation objectives, rather than the purchase of routine goods or general services. The buying organisation is Medway NHS Foundation Trust, based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham. The recorded delivery country is the United Kingdom. The selected supplier is LH&E Cost consultancy, whose trading name indicates a cost consultancy role within the project. Businesses relevant to this requirement are those providing environmental improvement works, decarbonisation-related project support or cost consultancy connected with improvement works for NHS estates and facilities.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one completed lot. LH&E Cost consultancy was awarded the contract on 29 June 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 29 June 2026 to 29 June 2026. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so no comparative award criteria are recorded. The contract is identified as the Decarbonisation project.

For suppliers assessing future work from Medway NHS Foundation Trust, this award demonstrates demand for a small, focused decarbonisation requirement delivered as environmental improvement works. A credible competitor would need relevant experience in environmental improvement or decarbonisation projects and the ability to provide the associated professional cost consultancy input where required. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, so comparable firms should be able to undertake the work with suitable organisational capacity and NHS-estate awareness. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold direct award without competition also shows that suppliers seeking similar work should understand how to present a clearly defined, proportionate service that can be procured through this route.
