UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust commissioned building alteration works in the Pathology Department at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton. The project creates additional laboratory accommodation to support growing service needs. Work in Block 34 includes enabling works to create a new doctors’ office, demolition of an existing storeroom and removal of minor internal walls to provide more laboratory space. The works also cover alterations within Block 72. This is a hospital-based construction requirement focused on adapting existing clinical and laboratory facilities.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Qube Construct Ltd was selected following a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September to 6 November 2026. Its stated value is £127,053 excluding tax and £152,463.60 including tax. The award record does not give a separate award date. The published procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or explain how bids were scored.

For comparable future work at Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, credible suppliers would need to deliver internal alterations in an operational hospital pathology department, including enabling works, demolition and reconfiguration to create laboratory and staff accommodation. Relevant capability includes coordinating building work around clinical facilities and carrying out controlled internal alterations across hospital blocks. The completed contract demonstrates demand for a focused, relatively small-scale package delivered through limited competition below the applicable threshold. Construction firms with experience adapting healthcare buildings and managing the practical constraints of laboratory environments would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns.
