Summary of the contracting process

City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited is procuring measured-term works for cubicle track and blind installation on behalf of Choice Ltd. The requirement covers the supply and installation of blinds and cubicle tracks across multiple hospital sites, with delivery in Sunderland and elsewhere in the United Kingdom. This is a works contract rather than a supply-only opportunity, suited to contractors able to measure requirements and carry out installation work in healthcare settings. The buying organisation is based at Sunderland Royal Hospital and is acting for Choice Ltd. The procurement’s plain-language work category is installation of blinds, corresponding to CPV 45421143. Businesses should consider whether they can provide a responsive measured-term installation service across multiple sites.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were set to be submitted electronically, with the deadline of 7 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract is planned to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option to extend by one year plus one year, potentially until 30 September 2031. Its estimated value is £90,000 excluding VAT, or £108,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on price and quality, weighted 80% and 20% respectively. The contract covers multiple sites for the cubicle track and blinds measured-term works.

This opportunity suits blind, cubicle-track and associated installation contractors that can undertake measured-term works across multiple sites. Relevant capability includes accurately measuring requirements, supplying suitable components and completing installation work to the buyer’s required quality standard. Contractors should be able to organise site-based work across hospital locations and manage delivery and installation as an ongoing service rather than a single installation project. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist firms may be well placed to compete. Suppliers should also be prepared to demonstrate dependable performance throughout the contract, since any extension depends on how the supplier performs. Businesses with established installation teams and practical multi-site scheduling experience are likely to find the requirement most relevant.
