Appointment of a Contractor for the Creation of Admission and Transfer Lounge

There is a requirement to strip out and refurbish the B12 Neurology Ward at Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust to enhance productivity and efficiency. Key objectives of this include reducing bed days lost due to prolonged stays and bariatric patient admissions, currently totalling 329 annually. The scheme directly addresses patient safety and fire safety risks. By mitigating the risk of closure of 17 beds, significant benefits are anticipated: • Prevention of loss of 6,205 bed days annually • Improvement in ED 4-hour performance by 6% • Enhanced ambulance offload times and overall hospital flow • Better patient experience • More efficient clinical to non-clinical space ratio. Implementation is expected to contribute to improved operational performance and patient outcomes at the Trust.

Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust (RUH) has identified a requirement to appoint a Principal Contractor to construct a new car park on the footprint of buildings recently demolished within the north section of the hospital site. This new car park is a key enabling element within the Trust’s wider estate development strategy, supporting improved access, operational resilience, and patient and staff experience. The proposed works are located adjacent to live and occupied clinical areas, meaning that construction activity must be carefully managed to minimise disruption and safeguard patient care.

RUHB Remedial Works – UPS Battery Replacements

Main Kitchens Block 31 – Chill Prep Room Works (Including Blast Chiller Replacement)

Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust (RUH) intends to award a contract for VAT Advisory Services to KPMG LLP for a 12‑month period. The Trust requires continuity of specialist VAT support during a period of significant organisational and regulatory change. RUH operates a complex and uniquely structured financial ledger that differs from neighbouring BSW Trusts. The incumbent supplier, KPMG, holds detailed knowledge of RUH’s historical VAT positions, COS VAT classifications, legacy financial structures and audit evidence, developed over several years of continuous service. Replacing the incumbent at this time would require substantial re‑analysis of historic claims, re‑establishment of COS methodologies and replication of technical VAT work already completed, creating disproportionate operational difficulty, risk of inconsistency and potential financial loss. the Trust is also preparing for internal restructuring activity within the wider BSW system, including potential movement towards financial process alignment. During this transitional period, continuity is essential to maintain accurate VAT treatment and avoid disruption to ongoing regulatory preparation work. The services required are compatible with and directly linked to those already provided by the incumbent. RUH is therefore using a direct award route under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023, as changing supplier would lead to technical incompatibility, disproportionate duplication of work and risk to VAT compliance. This notice is being published to provide full pre‑award transparency in advance of the direct award decision.
