UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England intends to develop and deliver, jointly with the Department of Health and Social Care, the NHS Estates National Condition Survey programme. The requirement is for surveying services to assess the condition of NHS estate assets as part of a national programme. The buying organisation is NHS England, working with DHSC; the work concerns NHS estates across the national programme rather than a named individual site. The procurement is planned as one lot, covering the survey programme as a whole. The stated service category is surveying services (CPV 71355000).

This is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. NHS England is undertaking preliminary market engagement through a request for information to help develop and deliver the joint NHS Estates National Condition Survey programme. The engagement is scheduled for 16 October 2026; this is an engagement date, not a tender submission deadline. The estimated value is £25 million excluding VAT and £30 million including VAT. The planned contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with a possible extension to 31 March 2031. The buyer expects to use a framework agreement. The procurement is divided into one lot.

The requirement is likely to suit surveying providers able to support a large-scale assessment of NHS estate condition and contribute to developing and delivering a national programme. The buyer has identified the purpose and joint NHS England–DHSC context, and has scheduled a request for information to inform programme development. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are considered suitable for the single lot. No particular accreditations, staff qualifications, specialist technical standards or minimum experience requirements are set out at this planning stage, so suppliers should use the engagement to help shape the requirement and understand what delivery capability the eventual procurement will require. This is preparation for a future procurement, not an invitation to bid now.
