Authority: Secretary of State for Health and Social Care acting as part of the Crown through UK Health Security Agency (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionUpdate: Since publication it has been decided that the most advantageous route to market will be to procure this requirement via the CCS DPS Construction Professional Services RM6242. As a result this requirement will be going via a PCR15 procedure.
The Design Partner (DP) for Pillar 2E will provide multi?disciplinary design services for the main site buildings and wider campus infrastructure within the UKHSA Health Security Campus programme. While the specialist CL4 facility (H50) is being designed under Pillar 2D, the 2E Design Partner is responsible for the wider estatecovering laboratories, office accommodation, shared facilities, campus utilities, infrastructure, and supporting buildings across the main site.
This requirement sits under the Pillar 2 Construction Professional Services framework and covers Work Package 2E, which includes detailed architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and public health (MEP) design services for all non?CL4 buildings and campus systems.
Under Work Package 2E, the Design Partner will produce technical drawings, BIM models, specifications, engineering designs, and coordinated design deliverables required to progress the main site components of the programme through assurance, gateway reviews, planning stages, procurement, and delivery. This includes designing building layouts, services systems, structural solutions, site infrastructure, utilities connections, and integrating these with the overall campus masterplan.
They will work closely with the Project Delivery Partner (2A), Design Assurance Partner (2C), the H50 Design Partner (2D), and the Tier 1 Contractor to ensure all main site designs are fully coordinated, compliant, buildable, and technically integrated with the specialist facilities. The 2E Design Partner will also support technical reviews, respond to design changes, and provide design updates throughout remobilisation and full delivery.
Overall, the Design Partner will ensure that the wider Health Security Campus is designed to modern scientific, operational, safety, and regulatory standards, providing the essential design capability required for successful programme delivery.

i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
