Summary of the contracting process

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured architectural design services to review the existing drainage infrastructure at Southport District General Hospital. The work falls within architectural and related services and concerns the assessment and design review of hospital drainage infrastructure. Delivery is at Southport District General Hospital, serving the Trust’s estate in Southport. This is a specialist built-environment consultancy requirement rather than a construction works contract or routine facilities-management service. It is relevant to architectural practices, building-services designers and engineering consultancies with experience examining drainage systems and producing design advice for operational healthcare premises. The requirement was handled by the Trust as the public-sector buyer.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the published method described as unknown, and comprised one completed lot. Gilling Dod Limited was selected as the supplier. The award was made on 4 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 November 2026. Its value is £16,434 excluding VAT, or £19,720 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The award covers the architectural and related services needed for the drainage infrastructure review at Southport District General Hospital. The award record identifies one supplier for the requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for focused architectural design advice on existing drainage infrastructure within a hospital. A credible future competitor would need the ability to inspect and assess complex drainage arrangements, understand the constraints of an operational acute-care setting, and turn findings into practical design recommendations. Relevant capability may sit within an architectural practice, building-services consultancy or multidisciplinary engineering firm, provided it can lead or support drainage-focused design work. Experience working safely around clinical operations, coordinating with estates and healthcare stakeholders, and producing clear technical outputs would strengthen a supplier’s position. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can suit a specialist smaller consultancy as well as a larger practice.
