two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Trust is seeking two contractors to enter into a 7 year term Framework Agreement for design, build and finance projects as part of its strategic estates programme. The Framework Agreement will be for design, build and finance projects but will also include call off contract options for build only and design and build projects.
It is anticipated that the first call off contract under the Framework Agreement will for the development of the haematology unit (the “Unit”). The Trust is prepared to invest no less than £20 million in the design and build of the Unit, though the anticipated build cost is £39.1 million. The contractor appointed under the Framework Agreement will therefore be required to invest and build the Unit under a design, build and finance arrangement. The Trust intends to enter into a head lease with the developer with a lease back to the Trust and the rental stream will be how the Trust pays for costs of the development as part of a pre agreed financial model. The reason for the proposed 7 year term of the Framework Agreement is the range of long term projects to be awarded under it.
