Summary of the contracting process

Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is seeking professional construction services for a capital project. The requirement is for architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, covering the professional support needed to deliver the project. The work is associated with the Trust’s hospital in Guildford, Surrey; the stated delivery area is Surrey. This is a services procurement rather than a contract to carry out construction works alone. Suppliers whose offer combines relevant construction-sector professional expertise with the ability to support a capital project may find the requirement relevant. The procurement is organised as a single lot, so suppliers would be bidding for the requirement as one package rather than selecting between separately tendered lots.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The procurement is at the tender stage. The deadline for questions was 20 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the offer submission deadline set by the buyer was 26 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is scheduled to run from 1 March 2027 to 1 April 2029. The estimated value is £1, with a gross value of £1.20. The single lot is assessed on technical questions, weighted at 60%, social value at 10%, and the commercial offering at 30%. Offers may be submitted electronically in English. The planned award decision date is 4 January 2027.

The opportunity is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it may suit firms beyond the largest construction consultancies. Suppliers best placed to compete will be able to provide professional expertise relevant to a capital project and make a strong response to the technical questions, which carry the greatest evaluation weight. The social value element also gives bidders a defined part of the assessment in which to demonstrate the public benefit of their approach. A competitive commercial offer matters, but price is not the dominant criterion. The requirement is grouped into one lot, making it most relevant to suppliers able to cover the professional services package as a whole, or to a team able to present a coherent combined offer.
