two.1.4) Short description
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (“MCHFT”) issued an Invitation to Tender ("ITT") in connection with the competitive procurement of Cost Manager Services for the New Leighton Hospital.
The purpose of this procurement exercise was to appoint a Cost Manager to provide services covering RIBA Stages 2 to 3. The appointment is through to completion of the Outline Business Case which is currently targeted as July 2025.
The project is currently concluding RIBA Stage 1 and is due to commence RIBA Stage 2 in June 2024. The appointed Cost Manager is expected to commence services in May 2024.
The Authority reserves the right to extend the contract for the appointment of the Cost Manager beyond RIBA stage 3 (including Outline Business Case delivery) without the need for a further procurement exercise. In exercising its discretion to extend, the Authority will consider the successful bidder’s performance up to the point it is considering any extension and whether any benefit to the overall programme to extending with the current supplier outweighs any potential benefit in carrying out a further procurement exercise.
Bidders were to note that the design may reach a fully complete RIBA stage 3 by the end of the Outline Business Case and therefore fees were to be based on this.
The Authority elected to follow the Open Procedure for this procurement exercise. For the avoidance of doubt, the form of the tender was conducted in accordance with the EC Treaty based principles of, inter alia, transparency, equal treatment and non-discrimination. Any organisation could have responded to the advertised Contract Notices, requested/downloaded the procurement documents, and submitted a tender. All tenders were evaluated in line with the methodology and criteria set out in the procurement documents.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
MCHFT is in the initial stages of a new project to construct a new hospital, which will replace the existing Leighton Hospital which is affected by Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) throughout circa 80.00% of its buildings. The vision for the project is to design and build a new state of the art hospital that will play a vital role at the heart of the community, placing digital innovation at the forefront of health services designed to tackle inequalities and meet the needs of a growing and ageing population. The ambition is that this project will transform the quality of healthcare for the people of Cheshire.
At the centre of the programme will be the “hospital 2.0” concept, a vision for how hospital schemes can be delivered with greater efficiency and reduced cost. An integrated systems approach will provide “optimised, standardised and repeatable solutions for scheme development, design, construction, and operation. This approach will take a reference design model developed for low rise projects and ask design teams to apply those principles through a series of pre-agreed gateways and steps. This approach is still in development at a national level, but MCHFT will be adopting H2.0’s core outputs in their generative phases.
