UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust commissioned improvements to the external courtyard at the Kings Building. The works covered groundworks and surface regrading, resin-bound surfacing, adjustments to drainage and access covers, sculpture foundations and artwork, lighting infrastructure with ducts and chambers, tree planting and associated landscaping. Site establishment, welfare, protection measures and other preliminaries were included. This is a landscaping and external improvement project, with construction and installation elements, rather than a standalone artwork purchase. The work was delivered in Somerset; the Trust is based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ground Regeneration Ltd. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The single lot covered the courtyard improvement works. The award date was not stated; the contract was signed on 18 May 2026 and ran from 18 May to 4 September 2026. The contract value was £73,369.92 excluding VAT (£88,043.90 including VAT). Evaluation criteria were not stated. The procurement was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023.

This award shows Somerset NHS Foundation Trust’s demand for courtyard renewal combining practical external works with landscaping and artwork installation. A credible supplier for similar work would need to coordinate groundworks, regrading and resin-bound surfacing with drainage adjustments, access covers, sculpture foundations, lighting ducts and chambers, planting and finishing works. The requirement also calls for effective site establishment, welfare and protection measures in an operational NHS building environment. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller business was able to deliver this package. For competitors, relevant evidence would include experience managing a varied, integrated external works package, reliable coordination of specialist trades and the capacity to deliver both construction and landscape elements for a public-sector healthcare client.
