The building work is to be funded in large part by the redevelopment of surplus land at the Springfield Site. Square meterage is taken from the planning permissions, as-built sizes may be different. The value of the hospital works (at II.1.5)) is given at Q2 2014 prices. A previously advertised event is to be held for potential bidders on the 6.6.2016 at the offices of Savills, 33 Margaret Street, London, W1G 0JD. The event will run from 18:00 to 20:00. Capacity constraints restrict the number of invitations please apply for invitations via emp.tender@swlstg-tr.uk by 17:00, 2.6.2016. The Trust wishes to build 2 new mental health facilities. 1 facility, of approximately 25 000 m2 (new build) will be built at the Trust's Springfield University Hospital campus and the 2nd facility (refurbishment of 9 350 m2 and new build of 12 330 m2) will be at the Trust's Tolworth Hospital site at Red Lion Road, Surbiton, Surrey, KT6 7QU. The Springfield University Hospital campus is a 33 hectare site in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Parts of the existing hospital estate date back to 1840, facing out onto open land that, amongst other things, is currently home to a 9 hole golf course and other sporting facilities. The Trust has outline planning permission from Wandsworth Council for new mental health facilities and ancillary accommodation (reference 2014/6585) in respect of the Springfield site as well as from the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (reference 14/10290/OUT) in respect of the Tolworth Site. The Trust's expectation is that the new hospitals will be funded, in part, by the disposal of other capital assets, but mainly by the redevelopment of surplus land at the Springfield site by a developer or developers for residential use. The existing planning permission is for up to 839 residential dwellings on the Springfield site (including up to 262 dwellings within 2 existing Grade II listed hospital buildings) together with ancillary commercial use. The Trust wants to appoint a private sector partner (‘Master Developer’) (which could be an individual economic operator or a consortium) to have overall responsibility for the design, build and commissioning of the new hospitals, the provision of all associated infrastructure, the redevelopment of the Springfield site and the discharge of obligations under the associated s106 Agreement. Both hospitals will continue to provide mental health services throughout and the Master Developer will be responsible for phasing the demolition, new build, refurbishment and infrastructure works in such a way as to enable the Trust to continue to provide its services without interruption. In addition the Master Developer will be responsible for maximising the value that can be achieved from the redevelopment of the Springfield site as each phase of land is released for development. The Springfield planning permission provides for the development of approximately 13 hectares of the site as metropolitan open land — creating the potential not only for an incrementally higher standard of residential development as each phase is developed, but also for a significant number of dwellings to look out upon parkland. The Trust has no firm view as to what the Master Developer will do or not do in relation to the Springfield site, however it has identified the following as attributes the Master Developer should possess (either itself or through the involvement of a consortium member or key sub-contractor: Managing large scale development projects and the provision of associated infrastructure; Delivery of combined heat and power (CHP) facilities and/or other sustainable energy solutions; Residential development (alternatively experience of preparing and marketing parcels of land for onward sale to sub-developers); Raising development finance; Hospital construction (preferably mental health); Managing a phased decant with no (or minimum) interruption of service provision; and Sensitive refurbishment/conversion of listed buildings. This is not to imply that the Master Developer will/will not be required to deliver all the above elements of the Programme. Its role will be developed in dialogue. There is no residential development associated with the new Tolworth hospital. The Trust's outline business case for the Programme has been approved by HM Treasury, the Department of Health and NHS England, The award of any contract will be conditional on approval of the Trust's full business case by the relevant bodies.
