Tender description

NWSSP Procurement Services is issuing this PIN to engage with the market for a Retail Plaza at the main entrance of University Hospital of Wales (UHW), Heath Park, Cardiff, CF14 4XW and Llandough Hospital, Penlan Road, Llandough. Penarth CF64 2XX. The Health Board is seeking expressions of interest from individual retailers on a unit by unit basis or multi-unit basis who would like to provide services within the Retail Space for both UHW and UHL to help meet the Health Board’s and the local community’s needs. UHW has a vision for a Retail Plaza to significantly improve the current retail offering within the main hospital building and for it to be a modern, bright and user friendly environment providing a first class reception and retail area at the first point of entry of the hospital. By the very nature of the hospital environments, there is a high footfall and dwell time within the main entrance reception area, with staff, patients and visitors often making multiple trips through the area. UHW continues to develop as a centre of excellence for recovery and rehabilitation services. Patients will therefore remain in hospital for varying lengths of time. Accessing retail and social amenities plays a key part in their hospital stay and recovery process. Options to improve the Retail Plaza will be considered. This may include reconfiguration, refurbishment or redevelopment. The improvements are designed to make a positive first impression on patients, visitors, students and staff, matching the health promoting ethos of the organisation with a vibrant and friendly environment in which to wait for an appointment or a relative, way finding information for those passing through and the opportunity to obtain quality refreshments. The Health Board is keen to make sure that any retail is open to and caters for the local community. University Hospital Llandough is an integral part of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board and is located in Penlan Road, Penarth Cardiff. The Hospital was opened in 1933 and throughout the years, and in particular the last 15 years, has been considerably expanded to provide a range of clinical services you would associate with a district general hospital. The Hospital also provides undergraduate and post graduate training for a range of clinical staff. Currently, the Hospital has well in excess of 30 wards and 500 inpatient beds and a further expansion of this provision will take place in the next 18 months.
