UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust is planning an Estates and Facilities Dynamic Market for works and specialist services supporting its healthcare estate. The potential scope includes construction, demolition, refurbishment, extensions, reconfiguration and new builds; electrical installation and replacement; mechanical, water, heating, boiler-room and sprinkler works; roofing; landscaping, resurfacing, car parks, fencing and street furniture; net-zero engineering such as solar panels, electric vehicle charging and ground-source heat pumps; modular buildings and water hygiene services. The main category is health-related building construction (CPV 45215100). The Trust wants to hear from suppliers of different sizes, including SMEs, voluntary, community and social enterprises, regional providers, specialist contractors and national organisations. The proposed market would support future estates work for Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust.

This is preliminary market engagement and procurement planning, not an invitation to tender or a current contract opportunity. The Trust expects to use a Dynamic Market, with design finalisation expected in October to November 2026, a tender notice in Q4 2026 or Q1 2027, and go-live in Q1 or Q2 2027; these dates are indicative and may change. Supplier engagement is planned for September to October 2026, with an engagement response date of 2 October 2026. The estimated procurement value is £100 million excluding VAT and £120 billion including VAT. Proposed participation bands range from £135,000–£250,000 through to £10 million–£20 million, with the structure still under review. The Trust is consulting on lotting, thresholds, selection, evaluation, social value, sustainability and onboarding.

The proposed market is intended to accommodate suppliers across a wide range of capability and scale, with explicit suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It should interest construction and building contractors, electrical and mechanical specialists, roofing and external-works firms, water-hygiene providers, modular-building suppliers, and organisations delivering renewable-energy or low-carbon engineering installations. Relevant capability may include complex healthcare-estate works, refurbishment and reconfiguration, new-build delivery, building services installation, fire and sprinkler systems, heating and water systems, landscaping and surfacing, electric-vehicle infrastructure, solar generation and heat-pump projects. Suppliers should be ready to comment on proportionate financial thresholds, selection requirements, lotting, specialist categories, sustainability and social-value commitments, and continuous onboarding. The Trust plans questionnaires, webinars and one-to-one discussions to test market capacity and capability before designing the market.
