Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust commissioned six Facet surveys across multiple sites. The requirement is for professional survey services supporting the Trust’s estates or facilities assessment needs. The work is associated with Colchester District General Hospital in Colchester, and with other Trust sites, although the individual locations are not identified. The buying organisation is East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, a public NHS body serving East Suffolk and North Essex. The procurement is categorised as services, with the activity classified as survey services (CPV 79311000). This is a focused requirement for a supplier able to plan and deliver six surveys across multiple healthcare-related locations for one NHS trust.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Rider Levett Bucknall Ltd. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot covered the six surveys. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 22 July 2026 to 22 October 2026. Its value is £29,808.20 excluding VAT, or £35,769.84 including VAT. The contract is active. The awarded supplier is Rider Levett Bucknall Ltd. The evaluation basis was therefore the buyer’s direct-award decision rather than a competed tender with published scoring criteria. The arrangement covers survey services for the Trust’s multiple sites during the stated three-month contract period.

This procurement indicates a defined NHS requirement for six Facet surveys delivered across multiple sites, at a scale suited to established survey and property consultancy businesses. Competitors would need the technical capability to carry out Facet surveys, organise work across several locations and produce consistent professional outputs for a healthcare trust. Capacity for a concentrated programme over a short contract period would be commercially relevant, as would experience working with public-sector or healthcare estates requirements, although the award data does not state specific qualifications or accreditations. Rider Levett Bucknall Ltd’s selection shows that a large, specialist surveying and built-environment consultancy can satisfy this buyer’s requirement through a direct, below-threshold route.
