## Summary

The University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust has concluded the procurement process for an ad hoc scaffolding supply, titled "STA scaffolding supply," within the goods category. The procurement, located in Bristol, UK, stemmed from a direct award due to the non-attractive nature of demand for broader tenders. The contract is scheduled to begin on 1st April 2026 and end on 31st March 2029. Award notice was published on 24th February 2026, with the contract's signature anticipated by 16th March 2026. Given its status, this agreement serves as a provisional solution until a formal larger tender is feasible in future.

This tender offers immediate potential for scaffolding businesses, especially small and medium enterprises, to engage with a reputed public authority, expanding their market reach and securing a long-term contract. The focus on scaffolding supply and associated services, including dismantling and erection work, highlights a critical demand in the construction industry. Companies specialising in scaffolding within the UK region could significantly benefit by securing reliable collaborative opportunities. Although the direct award limits competitive procedures due to urgency and a specific demand, interested businesses should keep abreast of future opportunities for formal engagement as the scaffolding needs evolve.

## Notice

Ad hoc scaffolding requirement. Originally intended to be an adjunct to an MTC agreement but this was found to be untenable. Estates dept peformed a pricing exercise outside of PA23 norms, but did not secure a large response hence notice. this agreement is being put in place until such time a formal individual or larger tender can be performed. This is NOT a tender opportunity.
