Description
In the next eight weeks, the Trust will be going to market to appoint a contractor to deliver a range of works associated with the demolition of the existing Service Wing at the Hinchingbrooke Hospital site. This project is expected to commence in 2026/27 and continue through to 2032.
Please note that the building consists of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC). Contractors must therefore have demonstrable experience of delivering projects involving RAAC structures.
The contract will comprise multiple elements, including:
- Relocation of existing offices and store rooms to another RAAC area within the Service Wing.
- Refurbishment of the destination RAAC area prior to any relocations.
- Full decommissioning of building services within the existing wing.
- Support with the relocation of the current waste compound to an alternative location on the site.
- Completion of a new road connection to link an existing on-site road to a specified facility following demolition.
The Trust intends to run an open, below‑threshold competition using a competitive dialogue‑style approach, enabling the Trust to draw on industry expertise in shaping the programme. The successful contractor will be responsible for validating RIBA Stage 3 designs produced by the Hinchingbrooke Hospital Redevelopment Programme (HHRP) consultants, BDP and WSP.
This opportunity is intended to be awarded as a single contract to one lead contractor, who may engage subcontractors as required. Details regarding subcontracting arrangements will be explored during the procurement process.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact the Procurement Team at nwangliaft.hhrpprocurement@nhs.net with your contact details and a brief summary of your interest in the project.
