Summary of the contracting process

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured works for the EPH car park at its Liverpool Road site in Chester. The requirement was car park construction work, covering physical works rather than goods or routine services. The buyer is the hospital foundation trust, and the work was delivered at or for its Chester premises. This is a single works requirement associated with the hospital’s car park. The procurement was managed for the trust as the public-sector organisation responsible for the site and the expenditure. Businesses whose core work includes constructing, renewing or improving car parks and associated site infrastructure would be the closest fit for this requirement. The awarded supplier was a roads and construction business based in Rhosymedre, indicating a regional delivery profile.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Henry Williams & Son (Roads) Limited was awarded the contract on 20 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The contract period ran from 21 July 2026 to 22 July 2026. Its value was £44,346.75 excluding VAT and £53,216.10 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The requirement was evaluated and concluded as a single completed lot, with no competitive tender stage recorded. The outcome shows a short-duration, below-threshold route for car park construction works at the hospital.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for focused car park construction works that can be delivered rapidly and at modest project scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical experience in car park construction or renewal, the workforce and equipment to complete a concentrated works package, and the ability to coordinate safely around an operational hospital site. The selected supplier was an SME roads business, so the requirement was within the delivery scale of a specialist regional contractor rather than limited to a major national construction group. Businesses with proven roads, surfacing, civil engineering or car park delivery capability should monitor this buyer’s estate-related requirements and understand its below-threshold direct-award route.
