Construction work

Tender description

The Trust is ready to commence the development of Phase 4 of the masterplan. As well as providing much-needed additional clinical space and improving access/campus circulation, construction of a new, c. 23 000 m², high quality building offers a fantastic opportunity to present a less institutional facade to visitors, and in doing so better reflect the Trust's identity, values and the world-class quality of care provided within its facilities. The Trust wishes to appoint an experienced Design team with Prime Contractor familiar with delivering complex projects and working with complex institutions and other key stakeholders, and which assembles a multi-disciplinary team of consultants and contractors capable of delivering the vision for the project and seeing that vision through to construction and completion on site. The successful team will recognise the need to strike a balance that considers design quality, functionality, accessibility, cost and long-term value. The Trust will use the Competitive Dialogue as set out with Regulation 30 of the PCRs 2015, because of the technical and legal complexity of the project. The Competitive Dialogue will enable appropriate engagement with Participants. The Trust recognises the costs of Participants in participating in procurements of this nature, it has therefore designed the procedure so that the dialogue phase has a defined start and finish and is focused on three key workshops: Design — there will be the opportunity for participants to access the Trust's Project Team to discuss and develop their design concept; Contractual — participants will have an opportunity to raise any issues on the draft documents and discuss these with the Trust and the Trust's legal advisers; Cost — the Trust want reassurance that the participant is developing a scheme with an area and a cost and consistent with the stipulated affordability cap.
