Summary of the contracting process

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is seeking a partner to provide a fully fitted retail environment at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital in Shrewsbury. The requirement covers retail, restaurant and hospitality-related services, including the design, fit-out and operation of facilities within the hospital. The successful partner will invest in developing the retail unit and recover that investment through operating the facilities under a long-term concession agreement. This is a service opportunity for businesses able to combine commercial retail delivery with the practical requirements of operating in a hospital setting. The arrangement is intended to create and manage a functioning retail environment for hospital users and visitors, rather than simply supply goods or carry out a standalone construction project.

The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition for a concession service. Questions could be submitted until 10 September 2026 at 12:00, and quotes were due by 24 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through Health Family/ATAMIS, using project reference C453538. The estimated contract value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT, or £1,200,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 March 2027 to 31 March 2038, with a possible 60-month extension taking the maximum end date to 31 March 2043. There is one lot. Award evaluation is based on the commercial questionnaire at 60%, technical questionnaire at 30% and social value at 10%.

This opportunity suits a retail, hospitality or food-service operator with the capability to invest in and deliver a complete fitted environment, then manage its day-to-day operation under a long-term concession. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate commercial, technical and operational competence, including premises development or fit-out, retail service management, customer experience and financial capacity to support the investment and sustain operations. Experience of working in complex public-sector, healthcare or similarly controlled environments would be relevant to the hospital setting. The evaluation gives greatest weight to the commercial proposition, while technical quality and social value also affect the outcome. The Trust identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making consortium or specialist-partner models potentially relevant.
