Hinchingbrooke Hospital Service Wing Demolition and Associated services
Authority: North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionIn the next eight weeks, the Trust will be going to market to appoint a contractor to deliver a range of works associated with the demolition of the existing Service Wing at the Hinchingbrooke Hospital site. This project is expected to commence in 2026/27 and continue through to 2032.
Please note that the building consists of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC). Contractors must therefore have demonstrable experience of delivering projects involving RAAC structures.
Please note that the contractor will be responsible for the RIBA4 design based on the Trust commissioned RIBA3 proposal. The intended contractor will need to take responsibility for the design and completion of the works according to that design.
The contract will comprise multiple elements, including:
- Relocation of existing offices and store rooms to another RAAC area within the Service Wing.
- Refurbishment of the destination RAAC area prior to any relocations.
- Full decommissioning of building services within the existing wing.
- Support with the relocation of the current waste compound to an alternative location on the site.
- Completion of a new road connection to link an existing on-site road to a specified facility following demolition.
The Trust intends to run an open, below‑threshold competition using a competitive dialogue‑style approach, enabling the Trust to draw on industry expertise in shaping the programme. The successful contractor will be responsible for validating RIBA Stage 3 designs produced by the Hinchingbrooke Hospital Redevelopment Programme (HHRP) consultants, BDP and WSP.
This opportunity is intended to be awarded as a single contract to one lead contractor, who may engage subcontractors as required. Details regarding subcontracting arrangements will be explored during the procurement process.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Here, local means registered in East of England (authority’s region).
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered outside East of England.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards were announced within 50 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.

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.
