## Summary

Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured construction and refurbishment works for its discharge lounge and R&D facilities at the hospital in Barnsley. The scope is identified as refurbishment works, without a further breakdown of the work. This requirement is relevant to building contractors experienced in carrying out refurbishment projects in a hospital setting, where work must be delivered within an operational healthcare environment. The buyer is the Trust, which uses the facilities and manages the procurement. The work is located in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to RLX Construction Limited. The award was made on 20 October 2026, following a limited competitive-quotation process below the applicable threshold. The estimated and awarded contract value is £668,565. The contract period runs from 28 October 2026 to 26 February 2027. The requirement was procured as a single works contract, with no lots recorded. The available evaluation information does not set out scoring criteria or explain how quotations were compared. The Trust marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although the selected supplier is identified as an SME.

For a contractor considering similar work for Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, this award demonstrates demand for a focused refurbishment package covering both a discharge lounge and research and development facilities. A credible competitor would need the construction capacity to deliver refurbishment across distinct hospital areas and the practical experience to plan and execute works in a healthcare setting. The Trust used competitive quotations below the applicable threshold, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be prepared to compete through a quotation-based process rather than assume an open tender. RLX Construction Limited, the selected supplier, is recorded as an SME, despite the Trust marking the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs. This indicates that construction businesses with relevant delivery capability, including smaller firms, may be able to meet the requirement.
