The Health Board is seeking a partner to provide accommodation for its 700+ tenants within a 30 minute commute from one of its three acute hospital sites in Bangor, Bodelwyddan (near Rhyl) and Wrexham. The tenants are mainly clinical staff ranging from undergraduate students to senior clinicians who receive training and / or work to deliver the Health Board’s clinical services. The accommodation can be provided over time either through new build development, allocation within existing stock or a combination of both. The Health Board would also like the partner to take over the accommodation and facilities management of its 614 residential units currently on the three hospital sites whilst alternative off-site solutions are found/developed. The Health Board is currently considering various commercial structures, however, at present it does not intend to pay lump sums but is prepared to consider underwriting a guaranteed level of rental income.
