The notice involves a public contract
II.1.4)Information on framework agreement
II.1.5)Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
The Isle of Wight NHS Trust (the Trust) is seeking a partner (the Partner) to enter into a Strategic Estates Partnership (a SEP) to provide an intelligent estates strategy function to assist the Trust with estates rationalisation; capital programme planning, financing, procurement and construction project management; and also strategic transformation planning; procurement and contract management of associated FM services.
These services will be provided to the Trust through the establishment of a joint venture body (JV) between the Trust and the Partner.
The Trust operates from one main acute site, St Mary's Hospital and 19 other NHS and non-NHS sites across the Island. The largest site is St Mary's Hospital site which covers 24,6 hectares including agricultural land to the north of the hospital. A total of 52 buildings at St Mary's provide a combined gross floor area of 52 006m2. These buildings differ significantly in terms of the age profile and, linked to this, suitability for modern health care services (the oldest building dates back to circa 1785).
The Priority Services (more particularly described below) will be transferred to the Partner upon appointment of the successful Partner or shortly thereafter to be performed by the Partner through the JV. Responsibility for procuring, co-ordinating and managing the provision of Secondary Services (more particularly described below) through the JV may be transferred to the Partner during the term of the partnership.
The Partner will be expected deliver Priority Services consisting of:
(1) Strategic Business and Estates Services - including the provision of consultancy support services in providing estates strategy advice and the preparation, review and updating of a partnership business plan to cover the proposed need, phasing of service transformation at the Trust's estate and the timing of the delivery of any proposed new projects or refurbishment projects to deliver capital requirements ('New Projects'). The Partner is also expected to provide access to, arrange and deliver private sector capital where required to finance New Projects. New Projects may involve (but are not limited to) capital works; refurbishment works; disposal and/or acquisition of land; facilities to support NHS services, related health and social care services as well as commercial developments.
Initial New Projects may potentially include:
- The delivery of a new reception centre at St Mary's Hospital (including third party income generation opportunities)
- The delivery of a sub acute facility at St Mary's Hospital for post acute care and rehabilitation.
- The delivery of a retirement village.
(2) Integrator Services - including the provision of the operational project management services in procuring, co-ordinating and managing external contractors engaged to deliver any proposed and approved New Projects to deliver capital requirements for works, fabrication or traditional estate project procurements and also any external contractors required to deliver Secondary Services approved by the Trust. The Partner's Integrator Services role may also include providing operational procurement consultancy services in co-ordinating, managing and conducting procurements observing EU procurement principles to appoint a supply-chain to the JV to deliver those services; and
The Partner may be required to plan, procure, co-ordinate and manage Secondary Services which may include:
(1) Facility Support Services - which may include Facilities Management and Helpdesk; Energy Management (and incidental energy generation); Catering; Cleaning; Laundry; Parking and Traffic Management; Security; Portering; Pest Control; Grounds and Gardens Maintenance; and Clinical and General Waste; and
(2) IT, Information and Records Support Services - which may include Medical records storage/retrieval ICT; and
(3) Corporate Back Office Services.
To ensure value for money is achieved at the time when projects are commenced and services required, (and in observing EU procurement principles on behalf of the Trust) it is expected that the JV, via a secondary procurement, will competitively tender the supply chain for each New Project or Secondary Service required. The Partner (through the JV) will therefore provide an integrator role in procuring and coordinating these third-party providers to deliver schemes and services for the benefit of the Trust.
The opportunity is to provide a strategic, development, investment, procurement, project management and contract management role in delivering capital projects and transforming services but the scope does not include the performance of delivering the detailed design and construction aspects of the New Projects or the performance of Secondary Services themselves.
The JV partnership with the successful Partner will be for a period of 15 years with an option (at the sole discretion of the Trust) to extend the contract for a further 5 years.
The Trust is also interested in the JV seeking other commercial and income generation opportunities in the public and private sector market over the long-term.
Further details of the opportunity are provided in the memorandum of information accompanying the pre-qualification questionnaire (see section VI.3 (Additional Information) for details of how to obtain these).
