## Summary

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust is planning professional consultancy services for a programme of ward refurbishments across its London estate: Guy’s Hospital, St Thomas’ Hospital, Evelina London Children’s Hospital, Royal Brompton Hospital, Harefield Hospital and associated community sites. The purpose is to keep the estate fit for clinical use, with investment prioritised according to clinical, infrastructure and statutory risks. Likely work includes general ward modernisation, ventilation upgrades, building safety compliance, and integration with existing building management, nurse-call, medical-gas, security, fire-alarm, data and IT systems. Detailed ward scopes will follow surveys, risk assessments and cost modelling. The programme excludes specialist areas such as theatres, catheterisation laboratories and major medical equipment, which will be procured separately.

This is at planning and market-engagement stage: the Trust is seeking feedback on supplier capacity and interest, not inviting tenders. The buyer expects a further notice around 1 December 2026. The questionnaire and queries are due by 23 November 2026. The procurement is described as a single lot, with an estimated value of £5 million excluding VAT (£6 million including VAT). The intended contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with a possible extension to 31 March 2034. The final scope for each ward will depend on surveys, risk assessments and cost modelling. The Trust intends to shape a flexible procurement and pricing approach across different work values and scopes; evaluation criteria and the final procedure are not yet set out.

The work is suited to construction and healthcare-estate consultants able to support ward refurbishment across multiple acute hospitals and community sites, and to coordinate with live clinical operations and existing specialist building systems. Relevant experience is likely to include ward modernisation, ventilation, building-safety compliance and Gateway 2 applications where required. Suppliers should be able to respond to a risk-based scope that will be refined through surveys and cost modelling, and work across a range of project values. The Trust is seeking a long-term delivery partnership that supports flexible workloads, rapid access to the market and continuity of contractor presence on site, although ongoing work is not guaranteed. The planned approach is intended to allow suitably qualified SMEs and local suppliers to compete and to deliver social value for the Trust and local environment.

## Notice

This market engagement questionnaire is issued in accordance with Guys & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) procurement and governance procedures. As one of the UK's largest and most successful NHS Foundation Trusts, GSTT leads in healthcare innovation and excellence. Centred in London, the Trust incorporates five hospitals, each with a rich legacy of clinical brilliance and pioneering research. The hospitals include: - Guy's Hospital; - St Thomas' Hospital; - Evelina London Children's Hospital; - Royal Brompton Hospital; - Harefield Hospital; - Associated Community Sites. The issue of this questionnaire is to engage with the market to gauge capacity and interest for the procurement of the GSTT Ward Refurbishment programme. The GSTT Ward Refurbishment Programme covers ward refurbishments across the above GSTT estate, aimed at ensuring the Trust's estate remains fit for purpose, and best placed to ensure the continued delivery of clinical excellence now and into the future. The Ward Refurbishment Programme will adopt a tiered, risk-based scope, enabling investment to be proportionate to clinical, infrastructure, and statutory risk. The final scope for each ward will be confirmed following detailed surveys, risk assessments, and cost modelling. This approach allows the programme to prioritise highest-risk interventions while maintaining affordability and operational continuity. As such, this procurement exercise will need to incorporate a degree of flexibility, and centres on the development of a long-term partnership essential to ensure the successful delivery of this important programme. The key Trust objectives underpinning this procurement exercise are: - Ease of use - GSTT are currently delivering a significant number of construction projects across the GSTT estate. These appointments need to facilitate the ease at which these projects are delivered. - Equal Opportunity - the tender should provide equal opportunity to all suitably qualified tenderers and does not restrict SMEs and smaller local suppliers. - Flexibility of Value - successful tenderers should be able to be appointed across a range of construction values. On this basis the contractual and pricing mechanisms should allow flexibility to suit different value bands. - Flexibility of Scope - the tender should allow flexibility to potentially support wider clinicalspace refurbishment projects across the Trust (excluding specialist areas such as theatres, cath labs and major medical equipment programmes which will require separate procurement routes). - Social Value - the tenders should promote genuine social value for GSTT and the local environment. - Continued workflow - the tender should facilitate the continued instruction of work with a permanent contractor presence on site, although this will not be guaranteed. - Speed of delivery - GSTT require a procurement mechanism which will allow access to the market at the earliest opportunity. Whilst specific work scopes are to be developed, the works are likely to include general ward modernisation, ventilation upgrades, building safety compliance works (including Building Safety Act Gateway 2 applications where required), and integration with existing specialist systems (building management systems, nurse call, medical gases, security, fire alarms, data and IT).
