The requirement sits within healthcare planning, construction consultancy and ancillary services, specifically Lot 7 of the SBS10190 framework. In plain terms, this is construction consultancy supporting the early planning and development of changes to the hospital’s urgent and emergency care front door. The service category is construction consultancy services (CPV 71530000). Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site at postcode CM20 1QX in the East of England. The buying organisation is The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works, and relates to a defined healthcare transformation project. The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Castons Consulting Limited received two active awards for the same requirement: one valued at £35,000 and one valued at £59,000. Both awards were made on 10 September 2026, with the contract period running from 10 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The wider tender was estimated at between £57,000 and £59,000. The tender submission deadline was 9 September 2026 at 12:00. The published information identifies a single service requirement rather than separate lots within this call-off. The opportunity was assessed through the framework call-off route, and the awarded supplier is named for both recorded award values. This award shows demand from The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust for specialist construction consultancy supporting urgent and emergency care transformation at its hospital site. A future competitor would need to operate within the relevant healthcare planning, construction consultancy and ancillary services framework route, particularly the framework category used for this call-off. The requirement is suited to established professional consultancy providers able to advise during the pre-contract stage of a healthcare transformation project. Firms should be able to connect construction consultancy with hospital-service planning and the practical development of an improved urgent and emergency care front door. The recorded awards indicate that the buyer may structure related work through more than one value line, so suppliers should be able to deliver clearly defined packages within a wider transformation programme. ## Notice PAHT - UEC Front Door Transformation Services - Pre Contract Services Procured via SBS10190- Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services,Lot 7 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/69206b2e-fb8a-4f87-a3be-2834040e8ace | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Sep 2026 | | Contract period | 10 Sep 2026 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £59,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £94,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust | | Locality | WELWYN GARDEN CITY | | Postcode area | St Albans | | Postcode | AL8 6NS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH26 North and East Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Welwyn Hatfield | | Electoral ward | Handside | | Westminster constituency | Welwyn Hatfield | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Castons Consulting Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71530000 - Construction consultancy services ## Release History - 22 Sep 2026 at 10:44 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/69206b2e-fb8a-4f87-a3be-2834040e8ace - 22 Sep 2026 at 10:39 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8dd3c755-c9a6-46df-9de5-a296149558bc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/69206b2e-fb8a-4f87-a3be-2834040e8ace 22nd September 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8dd3c755-c9a6-46df-9de5-a296149558bc 22nd September 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
