The work supports the replacement of the pharmacy robot through RIBA Plan of Work Stages 3 and 4. Required disciplines are architecture; mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering; structural engineering; and the construction, design and management principal designer role. Services are to follow the agreed service level agreement and the design and construction programme. The delivery site is Royal Lancaster Infirmary. The procurement is classified as construction project management services, although the described requirement is a broader design and engineering consultancy package for a healthcare facility refurbishment. The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award under the NHS SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services Framework, Lot 7 for multidisciplinary services. The procedure was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition, selected to support continuity, rapid mobilisation and value for money. The single award went to Gilling Dod Limited. The contract value is £72,122. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and is active. Evaluation was based on price. One bid was recorded. The procurement has one lot, which is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. No contract end date is stated. This requirement is relevant to consultancies able to provide an integrated architectural, building-services and structural-engineering team for live healthcare refurbishment projects. A credible competitor would need to coordinate the disciplines through RIBA Stages 3 and 4, undertake the CDM principal designer role, and work to a service level agreement and an established design and construction programme. Experience of pharmacy, hospital or technically constrained clinical environments would help demonstrate an understanding of operational continuity and specialist equipment replacement, although the published requirement does not identify a specific accreditation. The award also shows that the Trust uses the NHS SBS consultancy framework for this type of work and that a small or medium-sized specialist provider can deliver the multidisciplinary package. ## Notice Provision of Multi-disciplinary services to support the Trusts Pharmacy Robot Refurbishment located at Royal Lancaster Infirmary.
