Ward Refurbishment Programme - Professional Services and Consultancy Procurement

Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) is seeking professional services and consultancy support for its Ward Refurbishment Programme across its London estate, which includes Guy's Hospital, St Thomas' Hospital, Evelina London Children's Hospital, Royal Brompton Hospital, Harefield Hospital, and associated community sites. The programme aims to modernise and upgrade wards across the Trust's hospitals to ensure clinical excellence and operational fitness. Works will be delivered through a tiered, risk-based approach, prioritising interventions based on clinical, infrastructure, and statutory risk assessments. Typical scope includes general ward modernisation, ventilation upgrades, building safety compliance, and integration with specialist systems such as building management, nurse call, medical gases, security, fire alarms, and IT. GSTT is seeking to establish long-term partnerships with suitably qualified consultants and professional services providers. Key procurement priorities include: ease of use for project delivery, equal opportunity for all suppliers including SMEs, flexibility to work across different project values and scopes, genuine social value for the local community, maintained clinical workflow during works, and rapid market access. This market engagement questionnaire seeks to gauge supplier capacity, capability, and interest. Specific work scopes will be confirmed following detailed surveys and risk assessments, allowing the procurement to incorporate necessary flexibility while maintaining affordability and operational continuity.
