UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Luton and Dunstable Hospital is procuring permanent signage for the Oak and Cedar Wings in Luton. The requirement covers the complete signage process: producing final sign designs, manufacturing the signs, supplying them, removing the existing temporary signs and installing the permanent replacements. The signs are intended to replace those used during a six-month trial and to provide clearer, longer-lasting directions for patients, visitors and hospital staff. This is primarily a goods requirement with an associated installation works element. The opportunity is therefore relevant to signage manufacturers, sign-design businesses, specialist print and fabrication companies, and contractors able to manage removal and installation as part of a completed signage delivery.

The procurement has reached tender: the hospital invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot requirement with an estimated value of £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. Questions could be submitted until 28 August 2026 at 5:00pm, and offers were due by 9 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract period is 28 September to 18 December 2026. Evaluation is weighted 60% to quality and 40% to commercial considerations, so the proposed approach and delivery quality carry greater weight than price. Electronic submission is allowed, with responses submitted through the buyer’s specified e-sourcing response route.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized businesses, as the requirement is expressly identified as suitable for SMEs. Suppliers will need to combine practical signage design with manufacturing and supply capability, producing final designs that are clear, durable and suitable for hospital navigation. They must also be able to remove temporary signs and install the permanent replacements within the stated contract period. Businesses offering an end-to-end service will be well placed, particularly where they can coordinate design approval, fabrication, delivery and on-site installation rather than providing signs alone. The quality weighting makes the strength of the proposed solution and delivery approach commercially important alongside the price.
