Summary of the contracting process

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust appointed a project manager for its New Hospital Programme. The commission covers project management across three linked developments: a new acute hospital, an extension to Heatherwood Hospital and refurbishment of the retained Frimley Park Hospital estate. The work includes revisiting the RIBA Stage 1 work and managing Stage 2 design, including a hybrid outline planning application, and Stage 3 design and construction programme activities. It is construction project management for a major NHS hospital programme, rather than the delivery of construction works. The project is centred on the Trust’s hospital estate in Frimley and Heatherwood, serving the Trust’s wider hospital programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to AECOM Limited; the contract was signed on 30 September 2026. The process was a further competition among suppliers on Lot 2 of the NHS Shared Business Services Healthcare Planning Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services framework, using a limited procedure without a separate public call for competition. Five bids were received. The initial commitment covers the RIBA Stage 1 revisit and Stage 2; the stated scope also includes Stage 3 design and construction programme management, with an option described in the lot scope to extend into RIBA Stages 4 and 5 on negotiated day rates. Evaluation weighted qualitative factors at 70%, social value at 10% and commercial factors at 20%. No awarded contract value or contract period is published in the supplied data.

For firms competing for comparable NHS hospital programme-management work, this award shows demand for a project manager able to coordinate a complex, multi-site estate programme spanning a new acute hospital, an extension and refurbishment of an existing hospital. Credibility depends on managing design through construction programme activity, including planning-stage coordination and the transition between RIBA stages. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate strong qualitative delivery capability and a meaningful social-value offer, as these together accounted for most of the evaluation weighting; commercial competitiveness also mattered. The route was a further competition restricted to suppliers appointed to the relevant framework lot, so access to that framework is important for competing through the same route. The successful supplier was a large company, demonstrating that the commission was awarded to a supplier operating at substantial organisational scale.
