UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured continuing negotiation consultancy connected with an earlier 2023 requirement. The work concerns negotiations that took longer than originally quoted because of the complexity of lease arrangements and the associated building. It falls within business and management consultancy and related services. The buying organisation is based in Cambridge, and the requirement supports its estate and property-related arrangements. The procurement covered a single service requirement. This is relevant to consultancy firms with experience in negotiating complex commercial leases, advising on property matters and supporting public-sector organisations with building-related transactions. Savills (UK) Limited was selected to provide the service, indicating that the requirement was suitable for an established professional consultancy with relevant property and negotiation capability.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Savills (UK) Limited. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026, with the contract period running from 22 September 2026 to 21 September 2027. Its value is £10,750 excluding VAT, or £12,900 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, and the recorded method detail is ‘below threshold - unknown’. The award is active and relates to the single lot. The requirement was for continuing work under an earlier purchase order, using the original fee because negotiations had taken longer than expected. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the buyer, and the award date is 22 September 2026.

This award is commercially useful evidence of demand from Cambridge University Hospitals for specialist property and negotiation consultancy. A credible competitor for similar work would need to demonstrate experience of complex lease negotiations, understanding of building-related arrangements and the ability to keep negotiations moving when they take longer than originally planned. Firms should be able to provide business and management consultancy rather than only transactional property services, and should be comfortable working for an NHS foundation trust or a comparable public-sector estate owner. The selected supplier is a large organisation, suggesting that capacity to sustain advisory work over an extended period and manage complex stakeholder or documentation requirements may be important. Relevant capability would combine commercial negotiation, lease expertise and practical understanding of buildings.
