UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured emergency scaffolding installation for PMOK, classified as scaffolding work. The requirement is a works contract rather than a supply or consultancy service, and was commissioned by the Trust for its hospital estate. The buying organisation is based at Watford General Hospital in Watford, Hertfordshire. The scope centres on installing scaffolding needed for an emergency hospital-related requirement, indicating work that supports access, protection or building activity at the named site. Businesses relevant to this requirement are scaffolding contractors able to undertake installation works in a live healthcare environment and coordinate delivery with an NHS hospital organisation. The procurement covers one requirement and one completed lot.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust used a direct award through a tender waiver, below the threshold and without competition, in accordance with the Trust’s standing financial instructions. Pipe Scaffolding Ltd was awarded the contract. The award is active and the contract was signed on 24 June 2026, with a contract period from 25 June 2026 to 25 September 2026. The contract value is £11,760 excluding VAT and £14,112 including VAT. The award date is not separately stated. Evaluation was not competitive because the requirement was handled as a direct award. This was a single-lot procurement for emergency scaffolding installation.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for emergency scaffolding at an NHS hospital site, delivered through a direct-award route rather than an open competition. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical scaffolding installation capability, the workforce and equipment to respond to urgent hospital requirements, and the ability to manage work safely around an operational healthcare environment. Relevant experience should include coordinating with a public-sector estates or facilities team, complying with site access and health and safety controls, and installing, maintaining or removing scaffolding in accordance with the required specification. Firms that can demonstrate reliable mobilisation, competent staff, strong safety management and experience of hospital or similarly sensitive sites would be well placed when this buyer assesses comparable requirements.
