## Summary

Barnsley Facilities Services commissioned building refurbishment works at Barnsley Hospital, covering a discharge lounge and an R&D area. The scope is described as works associated with refurbishment of both spaces; the award classifies the work as building construction. Barnsley Facilities Services is the buying organisation, based at Gawber Road, Barnsley. The requirement was grouped as a single lot and awarded to one construction supplier. The work is specific to hospital facilities: refurbishing a patient discharge lounge alongside research and development accommodation. This indicates a project combining clinical-support space and an R&D environment, rather than a general facilities service or supply contract.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to RLX Construction Ltd, a Sheffield-based supplier. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its stated value is £668,565.73 excluding VAT (£802,278.88 including VAT). The procurement used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot covering the refurbishment works. The contract is active. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete. No separate evaluation criteria or award scoring basis is recorded in the process data.

For construction firms, this award shows demand from Barnsley Facilities Services for refurbishment of hospital accommodation, specifically a discharge lounge and an R&D area. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need the practical capacity to manage building works across healthcare and research settings, coordinating work that affects different users and functions within a hospital. Relevant experience would include refurbishment delivery, site management and the ability to complete a defined works package within a relatively concentrated programme. The award went to a Sheffield-based small or medium-sized construction supplier, showing that this project was delivered by an SME rather than only by a large national contractor. Firms with comparable refurbishment capability and capacity for a single, substantial building project are the closest fit.
