Summary of the contracting process

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust commissioned building and specialist refurbishment works for the MRI 2 facility at Charing Cross Hospital in London. The scope covers replacement and refurbishment associated with the MRI scanning room, including installation of a new air handling unit, an air source heat pump, a metal deck and an RF cage, together with refitting the scanning room. This is a healthcare construction and engineering requirement, with work taking place within an operational hospital environment. Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust’s NWLPS team managed the procurement. The requirement is suited to contractors able to deliver coordinated building, mechanical, electrical and specialist MRI-room works for an NHS healthcare setting.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to Cuffe PLC. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 10 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £1,133,950.98 excluding VAT, or £1,360,741.18 including VAT. The award covers one lot and the contract is active. The published outcome records Cuffe PLC as the selected supplier for the MRI 2 replacement and refurbishment works. The process therefore provides evidence of a completed NHS works purchase rather than an opportunity to submit a tender for this contract.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need experience delivering refurbishment and replacement works in a live hospital environment, with careful coordination around MRI facilities and scanning-room operations. Relevant capability includes installing and integrating air handling equipment, air source heat pumps, metal decking and RF shielding cages, alongside refitting clinical rooms and managing associated building works. Suppliers would need sufficient delivery capacity to coordinate several specialist construction and engineering disciplines within a short works programme, while maintaining control of safety, sequencing, quality and disruption in a healthcare setting. The award indicates demand for an established contractor able to take responsibility for a complete MRI-facility refurbishment package.
