United Kingdom-Crewe: Building construction work

RFT 16428

The Trust has some 200 residential units on its Leighton site, all built in the early 1970's. The accommodation cannot be adapted to meet Deanery standards and therefore the accommodation needs to be reprovided. Of the current 200 units, some 100 units are currently used sub-optimally for office accommodation and a separate scheme is currently attempting to repatriate these offices back onto the main hospital site.
The Trust now wish to procure the design, build, funding and operation of approximately 100 bed spaces for their staff and other key workers to rent at Leighton Hospital as part of a nominations agreement there is a need to maintain 100 units during construction and therefore the phasing of new-build will be an important factor.
The Trust has already soft market tested providers of key worker housing and expresses a preference for having single en-suite rooms with three-quarter beds. It envisages the accommodation would be a ‘step-up' from student accommodation but a ‘step-down' from normal housing, having some shared areas.
Also, during soft marketing, it became clear that there were different models of hard and soft FM supply dependant upon supplier preferences and what arrangements were currently in place for the providers existing portfolio. It is equally clear that the accommodation needs to comply with current and predictable future deanery standards and also be offered at an acceptable market rent. It is predominantly this issue which is leading the trust towards a Competitive Dialogue procedure as it cannot readily predict what the financial model will look like.
It is therefore intended to use the Competitive Dialogue route in order to obtain the best value for the Trust and in order to ensure that this is achieved the Trust will retain the option to negotiate with at least two bidders until contract signature.
The anticipated contract period for this procurement exercise is 240 months with the Trust holding the option to possibly reduce or increase this period. However all options concerning potential contract periods will be discussed in further detail with suitably selected bidders at the Dialogue phase of the exercise.
