Summary of the contracting process

East London NHS Foundation Trust is procuring construction works for a new Mental Health Emergency Department Unit at the Luton Centre for Mental Health. The scope is described as new-build work, with the detailed requirements set out in the tendering specification. The works are to be delivered in Luton. This is a healthcare building project for suppliers able to undertake construction of a new emergency department facility. The procurement is classified as building construction work (CPV 45210000).

The buyer invited offers through a competitive procedure with negotiation. The procurement is divided into one lot covering the new-build works. The tender submission deadline was 12 October 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The planned contract period runs from 1 February to 17 December 2027. The estimated value is £1.7 million. Evaluation gives 50% to quality questions, 40% to cost and 10% to social value. Offers were to be submitted electronically or in writing, in English.

This opportunity is suited to construction contractors with the capability and capacity to deliver a new healthcare building in Luton. Suppliers should be prepared to address the quality questions and demonstrate how their proposals deliver social value, alongside competitive pricing. The single-lot structure centres the work on the complete new-build project rather than separately identified packages, so bidders should be equipped to take responsibility for the scope described in the tendering specification. The requirement is a specialist healthcare construction opportunity for firms with relevant building delivery experience; the published criteria explicitly assess quality, cost and social value.
