UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited is procuring drainage works under a measured term contract for Sunderland Royal Hospital, South Tyneside District Hospital and associated satellite healthcare sites. The requirement covers two geographical groupings. The Sunderland grouping includes Sunderland Children’s Centre, Sunderland Specialist Eye Hospital, Washington Primary Care Centre and Durham Treatment Centre, alongside Sunderland Royal Hospital. The South Tyneside grouping includes St Benedicts Hospice, Palmers Community Hospital, Clarendon House and Haven Court, alongside South Tyneside District Hospital. The work is classified as drainage works and falls within the works category. Suppliers can bid for either or both groupings, giving drainage contractors the option to target a defined set of healthcare premises or provide coverage across the full requirement.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. Enquiries close at 23:59 on 28 September 2026 and tenders are due by 23:59 on 2 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an extension potentially taking either lot to 31 October 2031; any extension will be decided after the initial three-year period. The total estimated value is £172,500 excluding VAT (£207,000 including VAT). Lot 1 is valued at £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT), and Lot 2 at £122,500 excluding VAT (£147,000 including VAT). Bids will be assessed on 80% finance and 20% quality for each lot.

This opportunity suits drainage contractors able to deliver planned and responsive drainage works across operational hospital, hospice, community health and treatment-centre sites. The two lots allow a supplier to focus on the Sunderland-area premises, the South Tyneside-area premises, or pursue both geographical groupings. The measured term structure is relevant to businesses that can provide ongoing drainage services over a multi-year healthcare estate rather than a single construction project. The buyer identifies both lots as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so the opportunity is accessible to established specialist firms as well as larger contractors. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate the quality of their proposed service while remaining competitive on price, since financial evaluation carries substantially greater weight than quality.
