Summary of the contracting process

NHS Property Services Limited procured water main supply and refurbishment construction works at Saffron Walden Community Hospital in Essex. The requirement covers works to the hospital’s water-main infrastructure, with the purpose of carrying out the specified supply and construction activity at the healthcare site. It is classified as water-main refurbishment construction work (CPV 45232151). The procurement was arranged by NHS Property Services Limited, a public-sector property organisation responsible for NHS estates. The requirement was structured as a single lot, covering the complete set of works at the hospital rather than separate packages for different locations or activities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Clifford Devlin Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 2 October 2026. Its value is £184,808 excluding VAT, or £221,769.60 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, and the award relates to the single lot covering the hospital water-main works. The published outcome records the contract award and its short delivery period; no further award breakdown is recorded.

This outcome is relevant to contractors specialising in water-main refurbishment, water-supply infrastructure and associated construction works in healthcare or other operational buildings. A credible competitor would need the practical capability to plan and deliver water-main works within a live hospital environment, manage site safety and service continuity, and complete a defined package of construction activity over a short delivery window. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of NHS estates requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller contractor rather than only a large national business. Firms monitoring NHS property work should be prepared for below-threshold limited competitions and able to demonstrate relevant water-main refurbishment experience, reliable site delivery and capacity for focused hospital projects.
