The scope is described as new-build works, with the detailed requirements set out in the tender specification. This is a building construction project, rather than a supply or service contract. The named project site is Luton Centre for Mental Health; the associated delivery address information also identifies London, but does not establish a more specific site address. The works are intended to provide a dedicated emergency department unit for mental health care. Businesses whose main activity is building construction, particularly contractors able to deliver new healthcare facilities, may find the requirement relevant. The buyer invited offers through an open procedure below the applicable threshold. The procurement reached the tender stage. The tender was published on 7 October 2026, and the submission deadline set by the buyer was 12 October 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The planned contract period runs from 1 February to 17 December 2027. The estimated contract value is £1.7 million. The requirement is presented as a single project, with no separate lots described. The tender data gives no evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements beyond the construction scope. The published information does not indicate cancellation or withdrawal. This opportunity is aimed at building contractors able to undertake a new-build healthcare project for an NHS foundation trust. Relevant suppliers will need construction capability suited to delivering a mental health emergency department unit and the capacity to carry out the works within the stated contract period. The project’s healthcare setting makes experience working on clinical or other operational healthcare premises potentially relevant to demonstrating suitability, although no specific experience threshold or accreditation requirement is stated. The stated suitability assessment excludes SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so the opportunity is positioned for larger commercial contractors rather than smaller businesses bidding independently. Firms considering the work should assess their ability to deliver the overall construction requirement and review the tender specification for the detailed technical scope and obligations. ## Notice New build works for New Mental Health Emergency Department Unit at Luton Centre for Mental Health as indicated in the tendering specification.
