two.2.4) Description of the procurement
ENHT does not have the benefit of capital funding for the project and therefore any solution will need to be fully funded by or through the relevant partner. In addition, the solution must remain off ENHT’s balance sheet in compliance with IFRS 16.
ENHT has also identified that there may be alternative locations for the facility at the site and would welcome feedback from prospective bidders on alternative locations or approaches for the facility and how these could improve the commercial viability or amenity of the project. ENHT would welcome suggestions from potential bidders as to the potential location, design and square meterage of the build. ENHT would also welcome suggestions on routes and funding levels required to deliver an off-balance sheet solution.
This prior information notice (PIN) is intended to provide potential bidders with the opportunity to engage with ENHT to provide feedback on potential means of delivering ENHT’s commercial requirements, as well as any anticipated issues organisations may see, to inform a future procurement process for a civic main entrance, circulation space, retail offer and office accommodation. It is intended that that the pre-procurement engagement process will assist ENHT to identify whether there are potential bidders who would be able to engage with ENHT in a future procurement of a design, finance and build off balance sheet solution.
Please note, in order to assist organisations to determine whether the opportunity is of interest, the value of the opportunity has been estimated at £4m-£10m. This is a high level estimate based on a range of similar facilities for other NHS Trusts, but ENHT notes that the value may be affected by the eventual commercial model adopted.
two.2.14) Additional information
The pre-procurement engagement process is expected to involve several stages:
- Submission of a completed questionnaire via the Atamis Health Family portal.
- A market briefing event – date TBC
- A group site visit - date TBC
- ENHT may also choose to carry out 1:1 discussions with interested organisations. Those interested in participating should indicate this in the questionnaire.
