Summary of the contracting process

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust appointed architectural consultancy services for the Medical Records Building at The Hillingdon Hospital, Pield Heath Road, Uxbridge. The commission covers the full RIBA Plan of Work 2020, from Stages 1 to 7, together with Building Regulations Principal Designer services for a non-higher-risk building and JCT Contract Administration. This is a health-sector construction consultancy requirement, covering the architectural design and delivery support needed for a hospital building project. The work is classified as architectural and related services. The appointed supplier is Ansell and Bailey Limited, an SME architectural practice based in London. The Trust is the public-sector buyer and the services are delivered at the Hillingdon Hospital site in Uxbridge.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ansell and Bailey Limited on 27 July 2026 under a direct award from Lot 1, Architectural Services, of the NHS SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services Framework (SBS10190). The procedure was a limited call-off without prior publication of a competition; the framework permitted direct award. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 31 March 2027 and was signed on 17 August 2026. Its value is £39,849 excluding VAT. The published award records one supplier and one electronic bid, submitted by an SME. The stated award criterion was price. The tender is marked complete, while the associated lot is recorded as cancelled.

This requirement demonstrates demand from an NHS trust for an architectural practice able to manage a healthcare building commission from early briefing and concept development through construction and completion. A credible competitor would need capability across all RIBA Plan of Work 2020 stages, including coordinated design, technical delivery and support through project close-out. It would also need to provide Building Regulations Principal Designer services for a non-higher-risk building and administer a JCT building contract. Experience of healthcare environments, hospital stakeholders, regulatory compliance and construction-stage coordination would strengthen a future response. Familiarity with NHS SBS framework routes, including architectural services call-offs, would also be commercially relevant, particularly for SMEs seeking public-sector healthcare work.
