UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is procuring refurbishment and renovation works to convert Block 14 at Musgrove Park Hospital into an antenatal ward and department. The work is at the hospital in Taunton, Somerset. The scope is described as the renovation of the block for this clinical use, with the procurement categorised as works. Suppliers with relevant healthcare construction and refurbishment capability may find the requirement relevant, particularly those able to undertake alterations to hospital premises for ward use.

The Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement reached the tender stage, and the submission deadline was subsequently extended to 12:00 noon on 30 October 2026; enquiries were due by 17:00 on 9 October 2026. The contract period is scheduled to run from 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2027. The estimated value is £1,200,000 excluding VAT (£1,440,000 including VAT). There is one lot, marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Evaluation is weighted 70% on technical quality and 30% on price. Bids may be submitted electronically through the stated online portal.

This opportunity is suited to refurbishment and construction contractors able to renovate an existing hospital block for use as an antenatal ward and department. The requirement calls for a supplier capable of delivering a healthcare premises project within the specified contract period, with technical quality carrying greater evaluation weight than price. That balance makes relevant delivery capability and a credible technical proposal important alongside a competitive commercial offer. The lot is identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller firms with the appropriate construction expertise and capacity may compete, either independently or through a delivery team able to meet the project’s requirements. The procurement data gives no specific accreditation, staffing, or prior-experience conditions to highlight.
