## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is seeking building refurbishment works to convert Block 14 at Musgrove Park Hospital into an antenatal ward and department. The scope is described as renovation, with refurbishment work as the classified work type. Delivery is at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, Somerset. The project is a hospital estate upgrade to provide antenatal facilities in the relocated ward. This is a single-lot requirement, covering the renovation as one package rather than separating the work into several lots. It is relevant to building contractors with healthcare refurbishment experience and the ability to carry out renovation work within a hospital site.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The process reached the tender stage, with submissions invited electronically through the stated online service. The deadline for enquiries was 9 October 2026 at 5pm, and the bid submission deadline was 21 October 2026 at noon. The contract period was set to run from 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2027. The estimated value is £1.2 million excluding VAT, or £1.44 million including VAT. The requirement is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 70% on technical quality and 30% on price. The stated legal basis is the Procurement Act 2023.

The opportunity is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may suit contractors able to deliver a substantial, single-package refurbishment without the scale of a major multi-lot programme. Suppliers should be equipped to renovate hospital premises for use as an antenatal ward and department, and to demonstrate a strong technical and quality response, since quality carries greater evaluation weight than price. The work is located at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, making experience of working safely and effectively on an operational healthcare site commercially relevant. The requirement is a building works contract rather than a supply-only opportunity; firms with refurbishment delivery capability, suitable project management and the capacity to complete the renovation during the stated contract period are the natural competitors.
