Summary of the contracting process

The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned quantity surveying and contract administration for its MRI and X-ray replacement project. The quantity surveying work covers RIBA stages 3–7: cost planning, preparing and evaluating tender documents, cost reporting, valuations, managing variations and agreeing the final account. Contract administration covers stages 5–7, including progress meetings, action tracking and change control. The project is at the Trust’s hospital in Uxbridge, Greater London. The services support the replacement project’s cost control and contract delivery, rather than the supply or installation of imaging equipment.

The contract was awarded to Castons Consulting Limited through a direct call-off from the NHS SBS framework for quantity surveyors, without a separate competition. The award is active, and the contract is active. It was signed on 9 October 2026. The contract value is £48,154.92 excluding VAT, for a period from 18 October 2026 to 17 October 2027. The stated award basis is price. The procurement covers one lot for the combined quantity surveying and contract administration services; the lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active. One bid was recorded.

For future MRI and X-ray replacement projects at this Trust, a credible supplier would need to provide both quantity surveying and contract administration across the relevant RIBA stages. Relevant capabilities include healthcare-project cost planning, tender documentation and evaluation, cost reporting, valuations, variation management and final account agreement, alongside progress meetings, action tracking and change control. The requirement shows demand for joined-up commercial and contract-management support rather than imaging equipment supply. The selected supplier was appointed through an NHS SBS framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to be positioned to compete through the relevant framework route and demonstrate capability to deliver the full service scope.
