Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned professional quantity surveying services for the Pilgrim Emergency Department (ED) in Lincolnshire. The requirement is categorised as quantity surveying services, covering professional support associated with the project and its extended timescales. The named buyer is the Trust, which operates from Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln. The contracted provider is Quadrant Surveying Limited, based in Horncastle. This is a professional services requirement rather than a supply of goods or construction works, and is relevant to firms providing quantity surveying and related cost, funding and project support to NHS or other public-sector capital projects.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Quadrant Surveying Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The stated reason was that the provider already held a contract, but extended timescales required additional funding and approval. One lot was completed. The contract, titled Professional Services Uplift – Pilgrim ED, was signed on 6 January 2026 and ran from 6 January 2026 to 30 June 2026. Its value was £113,000 excluding VAT, or £135,600 including VAT. The award is recorded as active and the contract is recorded as active. The available outcome indicates that the Trust retained its existing provider for the additional professional services funding.

This procurement demonstrates demand from United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for quantity surveying support on an emergency department project where delivery timescales extended beyond the original expectation. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need professional quantity surveying capability, experience supporting complex NHS or public-sector capital projects, and the capacity to continue supporting a live project when programmes change. Firms should be able to manage additional funding requirements, prepare or substantiate cost information, and work through approval processes with a public-sector client. The awarded supplier was a large surveying business, suggesting that capacity to sustain delivery and respond to extended project requirements was relevant. Experience of working within established client contracts would also be commercially useful.
