Summary of the contracting process

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an open-space and field assessment for the 1829 Car Park in Chester. This is a specialist environmental, land-use or site-risk assessment service, classified under risk or hazard assessment other than for construction. The work concerns the hospital’s car-park site rather than construction delivery or general facilities management. The buying organisation is the NHS foundation trust based on Liverpool Road, Chester. The requirement would suit a consultancy or surveying business able to assess open land and field conditions, identify relevant risks or hazards, and produce an assessment suitable for a healthcare site and its associated parking facilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed. Knight Kavanagh & Page Limited, a Bury-based SME, was selected on 11 August 2026. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 12 August to 13 August 2026. Its value is £12,700 excluding VAT, or £15,240 including VAT. The contract is active. The available outcome shows a single supplier appointment for the open-space and field assessment; it does not set out a scored evaluation basis or competitive tender process. This was a small, short-duration commission for the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

This award indicates demand from the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for concise, site-specific assessment work connected with open space, fields and car-park land. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in environmental or land-risk assessment, including identifying hazards outside the scope of construction works and presenting clear findings for a public-sector client. Experience of working on operational healthcare estates or other occupied institutional sites would help demonstrate an understanding of access, safety and stakeholder constraints. The appointed supplier was an SME, suggesting that a focused specialist consultancy can undertake this type of requirement without the scale of a major national contractor. Relevant surveying, environmental assessment and risk-reporting experience would be the strongest foundations for competing when comparable work returns.
