## Summary

South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust is procuring construction and minor building works to refurbish and improve Liskeard Ambulance Station in Cornwall. The work covers internal and external refurbishment, drainage repairs and reinstatement, replacement of a garage door, fire compartmentation, electrical rewiring, new distribution boards and fire alarm systems. It also includes resurfacing roads and parking areas, building a medicine room and hot-desk office, installing medical-store racking, and completing associated mechanical, electrical and building works. The required outcome is a fully operational and compliant ambulance facility. This is a construction works opportunity, classified under CPV 45000000, for a single package covering the complete improvement programme.

The process has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open competition under the Procurement Act 2023. Enquiries had to be submitted by 12:00 noon on 3 September 2026, and tender responses by 12:00 noon on 18 September 2026. The contract period is 7 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, covering completion, testing, commissioning, certification, snagging and handover. The estimated value is £317,000 excluding VAT, or £380,000 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 60% commercial, 30% quality and technical, and 10% social value. Electronic submission is permitted through the Health Family Atamis e-Tendering Portal. Participation is reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises in the UK.

This opportunity suits a UK-based SME or voluntary, community or social enterprise with the capacity to deliver a multi-discipline refurbishment within one contract period. Relevant suppliers will need practical capability across building refurbishment, drainage, fire compartmentation, electrical installation, fire alarms, mechanical works, external surfacing, office and storage fit-out, testing, commissioning and certification. Experience coordinating several trades in an operational or compliance-sensitive facility would be valuable, as the completed ambulance station must be fully operational and compliant. Contractors should also be able to manage snagging and handover, provide suitably qualified personnel, and submit a technically credible response alongside competitive commercial pricing and evidence of social value.
