Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) Contract Type: Works
Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust (the Trust) is the NHS Trust responsible for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, London (the Hospital). There is an existing PFI arrangement at the Hospital with Meridian Hospital Company PLC (MHC), pursuant to which maintenance is provided by Vinci Facilities. The Trust is seeking to procure extensive infrastructure works at the Hospital, with a particular focus on the Hospital's mechanical and electrical systems. The Trust anticipates that the construction programme will span approximately 17 months with a value of approximately GBP 30 000 000 (GBP) for the construction works. In view of the existing PFI arrangement, the works will be carried out via MHC under a variation to the PFI arrangement. The Trust requires that the works themselves be procured via a compliant procurement procedure following which the Trust and MHC have agreed that MHC will appoint the successful bidder to carry out the works.
The infrastructure works are required in order to bring the Hospital into compliance with applicable HBN and HTMs, as well as current good practice. The works are expected to include:
(a) Existing energy centre re-configuration with new plant provision;
(b) New LV electrical distribution up to the local distribution boards;
(c) New Second VIE installation with medical gas provision;
(d) New air handling plant and ductwork to critical areas such as theatres, pathology, special care baby unit (SCBU) and the delivery suite;
(e) Builder's work.
Interested organisations should note that the Hospital must remain open throughout the works, and the successful contractor will be expected to demonstrate experience of working on 'live' clinical sites, as well as suitable proposals as to how to carry out the works to minimise disruption to the Hospital.
The Design for the works has been progressed to RIBA Stage 3A. The successful contractor will be appointed under a PCSA on the basis of the contractor's prelims, costs for the PCSA period, overheads and profit and an elemental forecast summary of the contract price. Under the PCSA the contractor will develop the design and tender the works packages in order to determine the final contract price for the works. DSSR was employed by the Trust as the Consulting Engineers on the project and developed the design to its current position. DSSR employed Floyd Slaski Architects and Campbell Reith Structural Engineers as sub-consultants. DSSR's commission has ended at Stage 3A. The successful contractor has a choice whether to engage with DSSR to continue to develop the design or select an alternative design team.
On successful completion of the PCSA activities, MHC intends to enter into the construction contract for the works with the successful contractor. The works will be carried out under an amended form of the NEC4 Engineering and Construction contract, Option C with a guaranteed maximum price. More information is set out in the tender documents.
