UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The County Hospital is procuring building works for a new invasive cardiology unit at its hospital in Hereford. The project will replace the existing Wye Valley Trust catheterisation laboratory, which has one procedure room, with a new suite containing two treatment rooms. This is a hospital construction project focused on specialist clinical facilities for invasive cardiology. The recorded delivery location is Herefordshire. The requirement is for development of the unit rather than the supply of medical equipment or clinical services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Speller MetcalfeMalvern on 16 October 2026. The single-lot award is active and valued at £4.5 million excluding VAT (£5.4 million including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 April 2028. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition. One valid bid was recorded for the lot. The award was for the construction works to deliver the new invasive cardiology unit.

The award demonstrates demand from The County Hospital for a substantial hospital construction project involving specialist clinical accommodation. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need the capacity and experience to deliver complex healthcare building works, including treatment spaces designed to replace an existing catheterisation laboratory while expanding it from one procedure room to two. The selected supplier was a large business, and the competition attracted one valid bid; this indicates the scale and specialist nature of the requirement, rather than a small general building project. Relevant contractors should be able to manage construction in a hospital setting and deliver a dedicated invasive cardiology suite for the Hereford hospital.
