The project, titled "Design Consultant for LINAC Bunker and Ward 9 Redevelopment," falls under the public authority - central government category. It focuses on providing comprehensive design services up to RIBA Stage 4 for creating a new LINAC bunker and considering the incorporation of a new inpatient haematology ward. This procurement, completed through an open procedure, reached the contract award stage on 11th September 2025, with the contract spanning from 18th August 2025 to 17th May 2026. The total contract value amounts to £775,341.66, with the possibility of extension up to three years. This project presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the construction consultancy sector, particularly those specialising in healthcare infrastructure design. Companies like ERGEA UK AND IRELAND LIMITED, the awarded supplier, demonstrate the type of expertise being leveraged for this project. The open procedure and large project scale make it an attractive venture for both large enterprises and SMEs capable of contributing innovative solutions to construction methods and building services. This initiative not only provides immediate business opportunities but also positions firms to form long-term partnerships in healthcare infrastructure development. ## Notice The Trust requires full design services up to RIBA Stage 4 for the construction of a new Linac bunker at Musgrove Park Hospital to support the 2028 Linac replacement programme and ensure uninterrupted radiotherapy services. The design must include associated patient areas such as reception, waiting, changing, and recovery spaces, and consider the feasibility of incorporating a new inpatient haematology ward to replace Ward 9, either integrated with or located nearby. The scope also includes advice on construction methods, including potential interim and permanent solutions aligned with wider site development plans, and provision of all necessary building services-heating, cooling, water, medical gases, power, and data-meeting clinical standards. All designs must comply with relevant HTMs and Trust policies. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/055670-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | 2 Jul 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Aug 2025 | | Contract period | 17 Aug 2025 - 17 May 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | £200,000 | | Awards value | £775,341 | | Contracts value | £775,341 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOMERSET NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | TAUNTON | | Post town | Taunton | | Postcode | TA1 5DA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK62 Somerset | | Local authority | Somerset | | Electoral ward | Bishop's Hull & Taunton West | | Westminster constituency | Taunton and Wellington | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ERGEA UK AND IRELAND | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71530000 - Construction consultancy services ## Release History - 11 Sep 2025 at 09:03 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/055670-2025 - 6 Aug 2025 at 15:25 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046668-2025 - 12 Jun 2025 at 13:29 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031969-2025 - 6 Jun 2025 at 09:40 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030483-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/055670-2025 11th September 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046668-2025 6th August 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031969-2025 12th June 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030483-2025 6th June 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.ergeagroup.com/uk/ - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.somersetft.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
