UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust appointed a project cost adviser for the Antenatal relocation project at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The service covers calculation and monitoring of project costs for the relocation of antenatal facilities. This is a professional consultancy services requirement for organisations providing cost advice, cost planning and ongoing financial monitoring during healthcare or other building relocation projects. The work is delivered for the Trust at its Musgrove Park Hospital site in Taunton, Somerset. The requirement was arranged as a single service package, covering the full cost-adviser appointment rather than separate supply or construction work. It is relevant to quantity surveying, project cost consultancy and related cost-management practices with the capability to support a hospital relocation programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Kendall Kingscott Limited was selected as the supplier for the single service package, with the award made on 17 July 2026. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 17 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £12,950 excluding VAT, or £15,540 including VAT. The award covers cost calculation and cost monitoring services for the Antenatal relocation project. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition. The available outcome shows one active award and one active contract, both relating to the complete requirement. No separate lot values or multiple supplier awards apply.

This procurement indicates demand from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust for focused cost consultancy on a live hospital relocation project. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate expertise in project cost advice, including preparing or checking cost calculations, maintaining cost plans, monitoring expenditure and reporting changes clearly to the client. Experience of working alongside healthcare estates, construction or facilities teams would help demonstrate an understanding of the operational constraints around relocating clinical services, although the requirement specifically concerns cost advice rather than construction delivery. Relevant firms are likely to be established quantity surveying or project cost-management practices able to provide dependable professional advice throughout a defined project period. The successful supplier was a large consultancy, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with the organisational capacity to support the assignment.
