Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management procured building construction works at the main entrance of Wansbeck General Hospital in Ashington. The requirement was to remove the existing revolving-door lobby and construct a new entrance lobby. This is a healthcare-estate project focused on altering and rebuilding an entrance facility while the hospital remains the identified delivery site. The buying organisation is Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management, based in North Shields. The work is relevant to construction contractors and building-services firms with experience delivering refurbishment or new-build works in operational public-sector premises, particularly hospital or other healthcare environments. The procurement’s stated classification is building construction work (CPV 45210000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Opus Building Services Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 1 May 2026 and is active from 1 May 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £105,185.67 excluding VAT, or £126,222.80 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route under the applicable below-threshold procedure. The awarded scope covers the entrance-lobby works at Wansbeck General Hospital, including removal of the existing revolving-door lobby and construction of the replacement lobby. The selected supplier is Opus Building Services Ltd, based in Boldon.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for hospital entrance construction and refurbishment delivered by a building contractor through a below-threshold limited competition. Suppliers considering comparable future work for Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management would need credible capability in demolition or removal of existing entrance structures, construction of replacement lobby facilities, and the coordination of building works within an operational hospital setting. Relevant businesses are likely to be established construction or building-services contractors able to manage a contained public-sector works package, coordinate site activities safely and efficiently, and deliver completed construction to the buyer’s requirements. Experience in healthcare estates would strengthen credibility because the requirement concerns a live hospital entrance rather than a standalone commercial building.
