UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust awarded a contract for the provision and refurbishment of Theatre 7 and 9 at their facility in Bury St Edmunds, UK. This procurement, under the title "WSFT - Works - Theatre 7 & 9", falls under the industry category of works, specifically refurbishment work. The process was completed via a direct procurement method described as "Below threshold - without competition". The contract was signed on 18th February 2026 and runs until 17th February 2027, with a total gross value of £1,444,389.60. The procurement is tagged under the "award" and "contract" stages, indicating its progression to a successful conclusion with the involvement of O. Seaman & Son Ltd as the supplier.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction and refurbishment, especially those providing specialised theatre building works. SMEs, similar to O. Seaman & Son Ltd, a Bury St Edmunds-based small to medium enterprise, would find themselves particularly well-suited to compete in such procurement processes, given their agility and potential for competitive pricing in smaller-scale contracts. Engaging in contracts with public authorities like the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust can help such enterprises establish a strong portfolio in public sector projects, paving the way for future business growth and expansion within the healthcare infrastructure sector.
