UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured professional design services for its Steam Main Replacement project. The requirement was for RIBA Stage 4 design work, covering the detailed design needed to progress replacement of the hospital’s steam main infrastructure. The associated service classification is project and design preparation, including cost estimation (CPV 71242000). The work is for the Trust’s hospital facilities in Uxbridge, Greater London. This is a specialist engineering design opportunity connected to healthcare estate infrastructure, rather than construction delivery or general facilities management. Businesses relevant to this requirement would be engineering design practices able to develop steam-system replacement designs to the required RIBA Stage 4 standard and support the Trust’s capital project delivery.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Trust used a direct award under the Constellia Framework, described as below threshold and without competition. Leonard Engineering Design Associates Limited was awarded the single lot on 1 July 2026. The awarded value is £52,370 excluding VAT, or £62,844 including VAT. The contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 20 July 2027. Evaluation was undertaken through the direct-award framework route rather than a competed tender. The contract concerns services for the Steam Main Replacement project and has an initial 12-month term stated in the requirement, with the published contract dates defining the award period. The selected supplier is an SME.

This procurement demonstrates demand from The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for specialist engineering design supporting critical hospital steam infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need experience producing RIBA Stage 4 designs for steam main or comparable building-services replacement projects, with the technical ability to prepare coordinated project and design information and reliable cost estimates. Understanding the operational constraints of live healthcare environments would be relevant to delivering practical designs for hospital facilities, although the procurement data does not set out specific accreditation requirements. The award also shows that this type of requirement may be placed through a framework’s direct-award route, so suppliers seeking comparable work would benefit from relevant framework access and the capacity to serve NHS capital projects.
