Summary of the contracting process

Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust commissioned construction works relating to buildings used for healthcare, under the requirement titled “C5028 - IPC Works 2026/27”. The work falls within health-facility construction (CPV 45215100) rather than the supply of goods or routine services. The buying organisation is Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust, based at Brighton General Hospital in Brighton. The procurement comprised one lot and concerns works for the Trust’s IPC requirement. It is relevant to building contractors and construction businesses with experience delivering works in or for healthcare environments, particularly those able to work for an NHS organisation and manage construction activity within an operational public-sector setting.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Packham Construction. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £156,415 excluding VAT, or £187,698 including VAT. The contract is active. The published procurement data records the tender as complete and the award as active. The selected supplier is Packham Construction, a large construction business based in Brighton and Hove. The opportunity was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available outcome data identifies the successful supplier and contract value but does not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings.

This award is useful market evidence for construction firms targeting Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust’s healthcare-building requirements. A credible competitor would need to show practical experience of construction works associated with health facilities, together with the management capacity to deliver a defined project for an NHS client. The award to Packham Construction, recorded as a large business, indicates that the requirement was delivered by a substantial construction supplier rather than a specialist goods manufacturer or general service provider. Businesses preparing for comparable work should be able to demonstrate reliable project delivery, suitable site and programme management, and experience working within the constraints of healthcare environments and public-sector contracting.
