## Summary

South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust is procuring enabling works for its Exeter main operating site. The scope covers a swale, car park and landscaping, forming part of civil engineering and construction works. Delivery is in the Exeter area. The requirement is grouped as a single lot, so suppliers are being asked to provide the works as one package rather than compete for separate elements. It may suit contractors with relevant civil engineering and site works capability, including experience delivering parking and landscaping works alongside drainage or swale construction.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under the below-threshold procedure. The enquiry deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12:00, and the bid submission deadline was 19 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 11 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £420,000 excluding VAT (£504,000 including VAT). Evaluation is weighted 60% on total price, 30% on quality and technical factors, and 10% on social value. The opportunity is one lot and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Electronic submission was permitted, with bids submitted through the buyer’s online portal.

This is a short, defined package of enabling works for contractors able to coordinate civil engineering, car park and landscaping activity at an operational ambulance service site. Relevant experience with drainage or swale construction and external site works should help suppliers demonstrate technical quality against the assessment criteria. The single-lot structure means bidders need capacity to deliver the combined scope, rather than only one component. Smaller businesses are explicitly considered suitable, so the scale is not restricted to large contractors. Social value contributes to the assessment alongside technical quality and price, making a credible account of local or wider social benefits commercially relevant. No specific accreditation, staffing qualification or prior project threshold is set out in the stated requirements.
