Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust commissioned a feasibility report on replacing existing medical imaging equipment at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth. The work is architectural consultancy: assessing the feasibility of replacing the hospital’s imaging equipment, rather than supplying or installing the equipment itself. The requirement is specific to the hospital and its medical equipment service. The Trust is the buyer, and Queen Alexandra Hospital is the delivery location. This is relevant to architectural and healthcare-planning consultancies with experience assessing hospital infrastructure and imaging facilities; equipment manufacturers or suppliers whose work is limited to providing scanners are not the direct focus of this requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Studio Four Architects Ltd. The Trust used a direct award through a procurement framework, without a prior call for competition. The stated award criterion was price. The contract value is £39,480. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026; no contract-period dates are recorded. The process comprised one lot, which is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. One bid was recorded. The available outcome information therefore names Studio Four Architects Ltd as the selected supplier, but the lot’s cancelled status sits alongside the active award and contract.

For architectural practices competing for comparable NHS work, this award points to demand for focused feasibility advice on replacing medical imaging equipment at an acute hospital. Relevant capability is likely to include assessing existing clinical spaces and infrastructure and developing a viable replacement approach around hospital operations. The successful supplier was an established, large architectural practice, providing an indication of the scale of organisation selected for this assignment. The buyer used a framework route and made a direct award, so framework access and a track record that supports selection through such arrangements are commercially relevant. The recorded evaluation basis was price, making competitive pricing important alongside credible healthcare-sector architectural expertise. This is a narrow consultancy requirement: firms specialising only in equipment supply, rather than architectural feasibility work, are less closely aligned.
