## Summary

Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust procured construction consultancy services for its Estates Capital Project concerning the Trevor Gibbens Unit Strategic Outline Case. The requirement centres on construction cost advice and cost management, supporting the development of the capital project. The work is associated with the Trust’s estate in Kent and Medway. This is a professional services opportunity for firms that advise public-sector or healthcare estate clients on construction costs, cost planning and cost control during the preparation of strategic project cases. The requirement is focused on consultancy rather than construction delivery, materials supply or general facilities management. One completed lot covered the service, with the selected provider delivering the consultancy for the Trust.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Gardiner & Theobald LLP was awarded the single lot for construction consultancy services. The contract was signed and began on 25 August 2026, running to 31 March 2027. Its value is £18,000 excluding VAT, or £21,600 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies construction consultancy as the service category and links the award to the Trevor Gibbens Unit Strategic Outline Case. The available procurement information does not set out separate scored evaluation criteria; the route was a non-competitive below-threshold award.

For firms that did not win this requirement, the award is a clear example of Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust buying specialist construction cost consultancy for an estates capital project at strategic outline case stage. A credible future competitor would need in-house expertise in construction cost advice, cost planning and cost management, with the capacity to support an NHS mental health trust’s capital decision-making. The successful route was a direct below-threshold award without competition, so suppliers should understand how to present a concise, proportionate offer for a defined professional-services requirement. Relevant experience should demonstrate reliable cost advice for early-stage construction projects, clear reporting and the ability to work with a public-sector client on estate investment decisions.
