## Summary

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured multi-disciplinary design fees for the Emergency Department Phase 3/4 project, covering work up to RIBA Stage 4, the technical design stage before construction. The requirement is categorised as business and management consultancy and related services under CPV 79400000, although the project title identifies it as a design-fee commission. The buying organisation is Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Delivery is in Cambridge, at the Trust’s Emergency Department project. The procurement covered one completed lot and concerned professional services rather than construction works, equipment supply or routine facilities management. It is therefore most relevant to architectural and design practices able to support a healthcare capital project through the specified design stage, particularly firms working with NHS or similar clinical environments.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold procedure; the published method detail describes the route as unknown. One lot was awarded to LSI Architects (Design) Limited. The award was active and dated 4 September 2026. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. Its value is £89,950.72 excluding VAT, or £107,940.86 including VAT. The available procurement record does not set out a separate scoring model, award weighting, selection threshold or participation criteria. The contract concerns the single requirement for multi-disciplinary design fees for the Emergency Department Phase 3/4 project up to RIBA Stage 4. LSI Architects (Design) Limited was the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for external multi-disciplinary design support on a phased Emergency Department capital project. A credible future competitor would need to provide coordinated professional design services through RIBA Stage 4, with the ability to work on healthcare projects where clinical functionality, safety, operational continuity and technical coordination are important. Relevant architectural and design capability is central to the requirement, and experience of developing emergency-care or other NHS environments would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected provider is an SME, showing that the commission was delivered by a smaller specialist practice rather than necessarily requiring a major multidisciplinary consultancy. Firms should be able to demonstrate dependable project coordination, healthcare design expertise and capacity to support the Trust’s requirements at a similar scale.
