Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust is seeking mechanical and electrical engineering consultancy services for its healthcare estate. The appointed consultant or consultants will provide professional engineering support across capital projects, maintenance, refurbishment, infrastructure work and service improvements. This is a broad portfolio of healthcare-related work rather than a single building project or a supply of equipment. The Trust is based in Stoke-on-Trent, and the services are intended to support its portfolio of projects. The requirement is categorised as services and concerns mechanical and electrical engineering. Suppliers whose work covers building-services engineering and who can advise on healthcare capital and estate projects may find the scope relevant. The procurement is for one lot covering the described consultancy requirement.

The Trust reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure. The single lot has an estimated value of £1 million excluding VAT (£1.2 million including VAT). The contract period is scheduled to run from 1 February 2027 to 1 February 2030, with an option to extend for a further year in annual increments or as agreed, subject to satisfactory performance and both parties’ agreement. The deadline for questions was 9 November 2026 at 17:00, and the bid submission deadline was 23 November 2026 at 12:00. The award decision was due by 14 January 2027. Evaluation weights price at 45%, quality at 45% and social value at 10%.

The requirement is suited to mechanical and electrical engineering consultancies able to provide professional advice and engineering services across healthcare projects. The Trust seeks suitably qualified and experienced consultants, so relevant technical capability and a record of delivering consultancy work in a healthcare setting are likely to be important in demonstrating fit. The range of capital, maintenance, refurbishment, infrastructure and service-improvement work favours suppliers able to support varied project types, rather than firms focused on a single narrow service. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, giving businesses of those types a clear indication that the opportunity is intended to be accessible to them. Social value contributes to the evaluation alongside price and quality.
