## Summary

The County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has successfully awarded a contract for the provision of two modular buildings at the University Hospital of North Durham (UHND). This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on modular and portable buildings. The contract, valued at £29,319, was awarded through a selective procurement method, utilizing a call-off from an NHS framework agreement. The contract was published on 1st November 2021, with a contract duration from 1st November 2021 to 31st March 2022. The location of the project is within the North East region of England, addressing critical capacity issues exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand in the healthcare construction sector, particularly those specialising in modular and portable buildings. Companies that are agile and capable of responding quickly to installation needs, especially in health services, will be well-positioned to compete in future tenders. The project is particularly suited for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate relevant experience in the construction and healthcare industries, as well as an understanding of working within high-pressure environments like hospitals.

## Notice

Synchronicity Care Limited (SCL) on behalf of CDDFT have awarded a contract by Direct Award to the supplier Portakabin Limited by utilising the NHS SBS framework. Due to the effect of COVID-19 on the day-to-day practices of General Practitioner (GP) Surgeries in the area the general public have developed a tendency to attend A&E instead of scheduling an appointment at their local GP. This occurrence has placed more stress on the A&E department at UHND during a period where, due to the COVID-19 situation, the department is already under a lot of pressure. As such the installation of 2 modular buildings are to be placed in the car park at UHND. GPs will operate out of the modular buildings with the aim of reducing pressure on A&E.
