## Summary

The University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for project management services under the NHS SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services Framework (SBS10190). The project involves delivering a portfolio of diagnostic and imaging schemes, including equipment replacement and capacity expansion, to ensure regulatory compliance and meet patient demand. Located in Lancaster, this project operates within the services industry category, specifically project management consultancy services. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, allowing direct award without prior publication, due to the time-sensitive nature of the projects. The procurement process highlights were the completion of the award stage with the contract signed on 15 June 2026 for the amount of £196,868.50.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the project management consultancy domain, particularly those experienced with healthcare infrastructure projects. The engagement requires comprehensive project management support, making it ideal for firms capable of managing complex, interdependent schemes. It presents growth prospects for businesses adept in planning, stakeholder coordination, risk management, and procurement oversight. Since the procurement was accelerated to meet critical deadlines essential for clinical service continuity, businesses with a proven track record of swift mobilisation and existing expertise in the health sector are well-suited to benefit from similar opportunities in the procurement landscape.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The contract covers the provision of project management services to support delivery of a portfolio of diagnostic and imaging schemes across the Trust's estate. These schemes include replacement of end of life equipment, capacity expansion and modernisation works to ensure compliance with statutory requirements and meet increasing patient demand. 

The supplier provides comprehensive project management support, including development of project briefs, stakeholder coordination, programme and risk management, cost control, procurement support and oversight of works through to completion. 

The contract has been awarded via a direct award under the NHS SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services Framework (SBS10190). A direct award was justified due to the time critical nature of the programme, where delays would impact clinical service delivery, alongside the need to maintain continuity with an incumbent supplier already embedded within the Trust. 

This approach avoids mobilisation delays, preserves critical project knowledge and ensures value for money through framework benchmarked rates, while remaining compliant with Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

### Procurement Information

An accelerated approach was required due to the time critical nature of the diagnostic programme, which includes replacement of end of life equipment and delivery of capacity expansion schemes essential to maintaining safe, resilient and compliant clinical services. Any delay to procurement would risk disruption to patient pathways, increased waiting times, failure to meet statutory and NHS performance requirements, and potential loss or deferral of allocated capital funding. 

A standard procurement process would have introduced delays of approximately 10-12 weeks, adversely impacting delivery milestones for schemes required within the current financial year and for future phases. Several projects are non discretionary, with ageing equipment presenting a material risk of service failure if not delivered within required timescales. 

Continuity of delivery is also critical, as the supplier is already embedded within the Trust with established knowledge of sites, governance processes and live schemes. Introducing a new supplier would require onboarding and mobilisation, creating duplication, loss of programme momentum and increased delivery risk. 

The accelerated approach has been undertaken in a compliant manner through a direct award under the NHS SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services Framework (SBS10190), which expressly permits direct call-off where suitability, capability and value for money can be demonstrated. This ensures adherence to Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Trust governance requirements while avoiding unnecessary delay. 

This approach enables immediate mobilisation of experienced resources, maintains continuity across complex and interdependent schemes, and mitigates operational, financial and clinical risks associated with delay, while remaining fully compliant with procurement regulations.
