Summary of the contracting process

City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited is procuring flooring works under a measured term contract for NHS hospital and community healthcare sites in Sunderland and South Tyneside. The requirement covers solid flooring and wood flooring work, including installation and associated works across the named sites. The Sunderland lot covers Sunderland Royal Hospital, Sunderland Children’s Centre, Sunderland Specialist Eye Hospital, Washington Primary Care Centre and Durham Treatment Centre. The South Tyneside lot covers South Tyneside District Hospital, St Benedicts Hospice, Palmers Community Hospital, Clarendon House and Haven Court. The work is classified as construction works and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Both lots are delivered in the North East of England.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were due by 28 September 2026 at 23:59 BST and could be submitted electronically. The contract is divided into two lots. Lot 1, Sunderland Site, has an estimated value of £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT); Lot 2, South Tyneside, is estimated at £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). The overall estimate is £400,000 excluding VAT (£480,000 including VAT). Each lot runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with renewal possible depending on the initial three-year contract and an extension limit of 31 October 2031. Awards are weighted 80% finance and 20% quality.

This opportunity suits flooring contractors able to provide solid flooring and wood flooring works across healthcare estates in Sunderland and South Tyneside. Suppliers can compete for the Sunderland lot, the South Tyneside lot, or both, allowing businesses to match the opportunity to their geographic coverage and operational capacity. The measured term arrangement is relevant to firms that can respond to flooring requirements across multiple hospitals, hospices, treatment centres, primary care premises and community facilities rather than delivering at one site only. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly identified as suitable participants. Commercial competitiveness is important because finance accounts for 80% of the evaluation, while quality accounts for 20%.
