## Summary

South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust is procuring refurbishment works for ambulance stations and other buildings across its property portfolio. The work is construction and building refurbishment, covering Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Bristol. Suppliers may therefore need to operate in one or more of these areas and deliver works at sites across the relevant county or city. The procurement is structured as an open framework for station refurbishments, intended to provide the Trust with access to contractors for works required during the framework period. It is relevant to construction and refurbishment businesses able to work on public-sector buildings, particularly firms with regional coverage in South West England. The stated procurement category is works, with construction work as the classification.

The process has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English. Enquiries close at 12:00 on 10 September 2026 and tenders close at 12:00 on 17 September 2026. The award decision is due by 30 September 2026. The framework contracts are scheduled to run from 10 October 2026 to 30 September 2034. There are seven geographic lots, each valued at £1,000,000 gross (£833,333.33 excluding VAT): Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Bristol. Each lot will be awarded to the five highest-scoring suppliers. Lot evaluation is 90% quality and technical questions and 10% social value. Subsequent contracts will be awarded through mini-competitions based solely on price.

This opportunity suits construction contractors and building refurbishment specialists able to complete varied works in ambulance stations and other operational buildings. The lots are marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller regional firms may compete for one or more geographic areas rather than needing to cover the whole portfolio. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate credible technical delivery capability, manage refurbishment work in the relevant location and respond to the Trust’s requirements over a long-term framework. Bids must address quality and technical questions and explain the supplier’s social value contribution, as these determine admission to the framework alongside the stated lot scoring. Once appointed, suppliers will compete for individual requirements through price-only mini-competitions, favouring firms with competitive pricing and the capacity to mobilise when work is called off.
