Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust procured a building advisory extension, classified as environmental engineering consultancy services. The requirement concerns specialist advice supporting the Trust’s building-related activities, rather than construction works or the supply of physical goods. The buying organisation is Medway NHS Foundation Trust, based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. The appointed service provider is a large engineering and energy-management company, indicating that the work sits within the market for established technical consultancies able to advise public-sector healthcare clients on building and environmental engineering matters.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Schneider Electric Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £89,400 excluding VAT and £107,280 including VAT. The procurement has one completed requirement. The award is active and relates to services. The published outcome records the supplier and contract, but does not set out a competitive tender evaluation or scored award criteria. This was therefore a non-competitive purchase rather than an open bid exercise.

This opportunity is useful market evidence for consultancies providing environmental engineering and building advisory services to NHS organisations. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical capability in these areas, the capacity to support an operational healthcare estate, and experience translating engineering advice into practical building-related decisions. Familiarity with public-sector governance, healthcare environments, compliance requirements and stakeholder coordination would strengthen a supplier’s position, although the procurement data does not identify specific accreditations or staff qualifications. The appointment of Schneider Electric Limited shows that the requirement can be met by a sizeable, established technical services provider rather than only by a small specialist practice.
