The work must bring the helipad into compliance with CAP 1264 and other applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. The scope is to be established through detailed site surveys, design development and technical assessment. The procurement combines construction with project management services, so it is suited to businesses able to manage both the technical design and delivery of a hospital helipad upgrade. The Trust invited offers through an open competition under the Procurement Act 2023. The published tender set an enquiry deadline of 2 November 2026 at 12:00 and a submission deadline of 16 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 14 January 2027 to 14 January 2028. The estimated value is £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT); the value was amended to correct the VAT-inclusive figure. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on the percentage weighting for quality, cost and social value. Participation is reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises based in Kent. The opportunity is aimed at Kent-based small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It is relevant to contractors with the capability to design and construct or upgrade a hospital helipad, and to project management providers able to support construction delivery. Suppliers will need to undertake or coordinate detailed site surveys, develop a compliant design, and assess the technical requirements against CAP 1264 and other relevant statutory and regulatory obligations. The combined design-and-construction scope favours businesses able to bring these activities together, either directly or through a delivery team. The requirement is for a single-lot project at Darent Valley Hospital, making relevant healthcare infrastructure and aviation-facility experience useful to suppliers preparing a compliant delivery approach. No specific accreditation or past-experience threshold is stated in the procurement details. ## Notice DGT will be issuing an open tender in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 for the design and construction to upgrade the existing helipad at Darent Valley Hospital to achieve compliance with CAP 1264 and all other relevant statutory and regulatory requirements, as determined through detailed site surveys, design development, and technical assessment. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/098624-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 16 Nov 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Jan 2027 - 14 Jan 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | £500,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust | | Locality | DARTFORD | | Postcode area | Dartford | | Postcode | DA2 8DA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ43 Kent Thames Gateway | | Local authority | Dartford | | Electoral ward | Bean & Village Park | | Westminster constituency | Dartford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 45210000 - Building construction work - 79421000 - Project-management services other than for construction work ## Release History - 19 Oct 2026 at 15:54 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/098624-2026 - 19 Oct 2026 at 11:20 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/098375-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/098624-2026 19th October 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/098375-2026 19th October 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-1928--prospend.vf.force.com/apex/CS_ContractPage?filters=&page=1&Preview=Yes&searchStr=&SearchType= - https://atamis-1928--prospend.vf.force.com/apex/CS_ContractPage?filters=&page=1&Preview=Yes&searchStr=&SearchType=C484350Projects&sortStr=Alphabetical&uid=a07Pz000021amTAIAY&sfdcIFrameOrigin=https%3A%2F%2Fatamis-1928.lightning.force.com - https://atamis-1928--prospend.vf.force.com/apex/CS_ContractPage?filters=&page=1&Preview=Yes&searchStr=&SearchType=Projects&sortStr=Alphabetical&uid=a07Pz000021amTAIAY&sfdcIFrameOrigin=https%3A%2F%2Fatamis-1928.lightning.force.com - https://www.dvh.nhs.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
