## Summary

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured SOC consultancy for delivery in the South East of England. The requirement is described as consultancy, although the recorded procurement category is goods and the associated classification is building and facilities management services (CPV 79993000). The work is linked to the Trust’s hospital operations and was intended to support its needs through a specialist consultancy engagement. The selected supplier was Gilling Dod Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Chorley, Lancashire. The buying organisation is the Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. The opportunity was structured as a framework call-off rather than a standalone open-market procurement, so its commercial relevance is strongest for businesses already positioned within the relevant purchasing route and able to provide this type of consultancy.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was handled as a selective procedure, using a direct award call-off from the NHS Shared Business Services HPCCAS Framework, reference SBS10190. The tender submission deadline was 8 June 2026 at 12 noon. The award was made to Gilling Dod Limited on 22 June 2026 for £231,377 including the stated currency of GBP. The tender’s estimated range was £230,000 to £231,377. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active and covers the same SOC consultancy requirement for the Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust. Participation was identified as unsuitable for both SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, despite the successful supplier being recorded as an SME.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined NHS demand for SOC consultancy delivered through a public-sector framework call-off. The relevant commercial position is as a specialist consultancy able to understand hospital requirements, work with an NHS trust and operate within the rules of the SBS HPCCAS Framework. A credible competitor would need the framework access or route required for a direct award, a demonstrable record of delivering comparable SOC consultancy, and the capacity to resource an engagement of this scale without relying on an open competition. The recorded outcome also shows that a small or medium-sized supplier was capable of winning the work, although the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs. Future relevance therefore depends on framework eligibility, specialist expertise, NHS delivery experience and the ability to provide dependable consultancy support.
