## Summary

East London NHS Foundation Trust is procuring building refurbishment and modernisation works to expand the Section 136 unit at Jade Ward, Luton Centre for Mental Health. The project is intended to provide an expanded mental health unit; the detailed scope is set out in the tendering specification. The works are to be carried out at the Luton Centre for Mental Health in Luton. This is a construction works requirement, rather than a supply or standalone service contract, and is presented as one package for the expansion project.

The buyer invited offers through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation. The procurement has reached the tender stage. The single lot is evaluated on quality questions (50%), social value (10%) and cost (40%). The estimated contract value is £525,000. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer was 19 October 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The contract period is scheduled to run from 15 December 2026 to 25 March 2027. The stated award period begins on 27 October 2026. Bids may be submitted electronically or in writing, and English is the stated submission language.

This opportunity is relevant to building contractors with the capability to undertake refurbishment and modernisation works, particularly firms experienced in delivering construction projects within mental health or healthcare facilities. The requirement centres on expanding an existing Section 136 unit at a named mental health centre, so suppliers should be equipped to work on a defined facility expansion rather than provide ongoing clinical services. The procurement is a single works package. Quality, social value and cost all contribute to the competition, making it relevant to suppliers able to address quality and social value alongside their price.
