Summary of the contracting process

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust is procuring additional construction and refurbishment services for the CX3 and CX4 linear accelerator (LINAC) replacement project at Charing Cross Hospital in London. The requirement covers extension-of-time works, contractor attendance during equipment installation, associated variations, waiting-room works and completion activities. Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust is managing the procurement for the North West London Procurement Services arrangement. The work is classified as building consultancy services, although the stated scope is focused on construction, refurbishment and project completion activities within a hospital environment. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It concerns specialist healthcare construction support around the installation and replacement of LINAC equipment, rather than the supply of the medical equipment itself.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award to Forest Gate Construction Co. Limited. The buyer justified retaining the incumbent contractor on grounds of continuity, avoiding project delays and additional costs, and applying the original tendered rates to deliver value for money. There was one completed lot. The award value is £444,199.27 excluding VAT and £533,039.12 including VAT. The award is above the relevant threshold. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 December 2027. A signature milestone was scheduled for 2 September 2026. The award relates to building consultancy services under CPV 71315200 and was evaluated through a single-supplier technical-reasons route.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust for contractors able to deliver construction and refurbishment works in a live hospital project involving linear accelerator replacement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience coordinating enabling and completion works around complex medical-equipment installation, including contractor attendance during installation, managing variations, delivering waiting-room works and closing out outstanding activities. The buyer’s decision shows the commercial importance of continuity, familiarity with the existing project and the ability to use established tendered rates without causing delay or additional cost. Relevant suppliers should therefore be able to manage interfaces between construction teams, hospital operations and specialist equipment installers, while maintaining the programme and completing healthcare refurbishment works to the required standard.
