## Summary

Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust is procuring refurbishment works to convert an existing outdoor courtyard at its hospital in Northampton into a children’s outdoor play area and garden. The work is to be delivered in accordance with the project drawings, with site access through the live hospital environment. The requirement includes managing the movement of materials and removal of debris or spoil through the hospital, protecting interior areas from spills and keeping the surrounding clinical environment clean. The site is immediately beside a special care baby unit, so construction activity must limit noise to the lowest level necessary. This is a building and external landscaping refurbishment opportunity for contractors able to work safely in a hospital setting.

The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot for refurbishment works. Enquiries had to be submitted by 18 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers had to be submitted electronically or otherwise through the specified process by 25 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 February 2027 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT, or £480,000 including VAT. Offers are evaluated on technical quality at 50%, price at 40% and social value at 10%. The opportunity is identified under CPV 45453100 for refurbishment work.

This requirement suits a refurbishment contractor with experience delivering external works and creating or renewing children’s play and garden areas. Suppliers must be able to plan and control work beside an operating hospital and a special care baby unit, including maintaining safe routes for staff, patients and visitors. The work demands disciplined logistics: deliveries and removal of materials, debris and spoil must be coordinated with the Trust and carried out before 08:00 or after 16:30. Materials must be moved through the hospital by hand or hand-powered equipment only. Contractors should also have robust housekeeping and spill-response arrangements, and the capacity to keep noise to the minimum necessary throughout the works. The lot is marked as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.
