The Authority is carrying out this tender process under the competitive flexible procedure, and anticipated incorporation of limited negotiation with bidders on areas such as the contract terms, the commercial offer template and KPIs. \nThe Authority is developing a dedicated Day Surgery Unit and 23 hour Ward to re-provide and replace elective surgical capacity and address growing demand and waiting list pressures. The facility will be a ring-fenced, standalone elective care centre connected to the main hospital to ensure access to inpatient services and diagnostics when required. \nThis model will ensure the delivery of a high-quality, sustainable, and efficient elective surgical service for Mid and South Essex, aligning with national elective recovery priorities. \nThe Authority is seeking to commission a fully managed service offer, providing the operational management and everything from the equipment to the required minimum specification, equipment installation, maintenance and consumables for NHS clinical teams and potential to contract with the independent and private sector organisations to use. \nThe primary objectives of the unit is to: \n•\tProvide a modern fit for purpose environment for day surgery theatres which supports the Authority’s strategy for being at the leading edge of surgery (through cutting edge equipment and responsiveness) that allows the maximum benefit for the Mid and South Essex population.\n•\tImplement high-volume, low-complexity surgical pathways in line with Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) principles.\n•\tSupport recruitment and retention by providing a dedicated and purpose-built environment.\nThe new 1900m² facility will form a fully functional, well maintained and operational suite and will comprise: \n•\t2 Theatres (laminar flow enabled) for a range of elective procedures. \n•\t1 Enhanced Treatment/Procedure Room for outpatient-based interventions. \n•\tPre- and post-operative recovery areas, including 8 patient pods and 2 ensuite side rooms. \n•\tGeneral spaces: Waiting, administration, admission and discharge areas, and staff welfare facilities. \nThe expectation is that the below specialities (in the form of elective day-case and 23-hour stay surgeries) will use the facilities, but this is expected to evolve over the life of the contract:\n•\tENT \n•\tGeneral Surgery \n•\tPain Management \n•\tOral Surgery \n•\tGynaecology \n•\tBurns and Plastics \n•\tOrthopaedics (excluding complex procedures requiring a clean facility) \n•\tUrology. \nThis equates to circa 4,500 procedures per annum.\nIn addition to providing the aforementioned services, the managed services operator will be required to enter into a separate lease arrangement for the building with a specialist developer. To enable the funding and delivery of the building, the Authority has appointed a specialist developer to deliver the whole building and the fitout of the ground floor Day Surgery Unit. The funding of the project will require an established leasing structure to be implemented. This will therefore require the managed services operator to enter into lease agreements with the developer. \nLot Information:\nThe Authority determined that splitting the contract into lots is not appropriate for this procurement. This decision is based on the following considerations:\n•\tOperational Integration: The services required for the bidder encompass a comprehensive and integrated approach to managing and operating the facility. Splitting the contract into lots would disrupt the seamless delivery of services, including clinical governance, equipment management, staffing, and patient safety protocols.\n•\tEfficiency and Coordination: The nature of the services demands high levels of coordination and efficiency across various operational areas. Dividing the contract into separate lots would lead to fragmented management, potentially compromising the quality and responsiveness of service delivery.\n•\tSpecialised Expertise: The bidder is expected to provide specialised expertise in managing a high-quality surgical facility. This includes adherence to NHS standards, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement initiatives. A single contract ensures that the bidder can leverage its full range of skills and resources without the complications of managing multiple contractors.\n•\tFinancial and Contractual Obligations: The financial structure of the contract, including lease payments and revenue generation, requires a unified approach to ensure transparency and compliance with NHS financial governance standards. Splitting the contract could lead to inconsistencies and challenges in financial management.\n•\tInnovation and Service Development: The bidder is tasked with implementing continuous innovation and service development, including digital health technologies, personalised patient care, and sustainability initiatives. A single contract allows for a cohesive strategy and streamlined implementation of these advancements.\n•\tGovernance and Performance Monitoring: Effective governance and performance monitoring are critical to the success of the bidder. A single contract facilitates clear accountability and consistent reporting, ensuring that all aspects of service delivery are aligned with the Authority's strategic objectives.", "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "33100000", "description": "Medical equipments" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "33661100", "description": "Anaesthetics" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "33195000", "description": "Patient-monitoring system" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "33111000", "description": "X-ray devices" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "33168000", "description": "Endoscopy, endosurgery devices" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "33192000", "description": "Medical furniture" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "33192160", "description": "Stretchers" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "33162000", "description": "Operating theatre devices and instruments" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "33167000", "description": "Surgical lights" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "31524110", "description": "Operating-theatre lamps" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "31211110", "description": "Control panels" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "51400000", "description": "Installation services of medical and surgical equipment" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "33140000", "description": "Medical consumables" } ], "deliveryAddresses": [ { "region": "UKH31", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, { "region": "UKH31", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, { "region": "UKH31", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, { "region": "UKH31", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" } ], "relatedLot": "1" } ], "value": { "amountGross": 102480000, "amount": 85400000, "currency": "GBP" }, "mainProcurementCategory": "services", "aboveThreshold": true, "lots": [ { "id": "1", "contractPeriod": { "startDate": "2027-07-01T00:00:00+01:00", "endDate": "2042-06-30T23:59:59+01:00", "maxExtentDate": "2047-06-30T23:59:59+01:00" }, "hasRenewal": true, "status": "complete", "value": { "amountGross": 102480000, "amount": 85400000, "currency": "GBP" }, "awardCriteria": { "criteria": [ { "type": "cost", "name": "Commercial (Price)", "description": "The criterion is stated within the tender documents.", "numbers": [ { "number": 30, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "quality", "name": "Technical (Quality)", "description": "The criterion is stated within the tender documents.", "numbers": [ { "number": 70, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] } ] }, "renewal": { "description": "The contract will have an initial term of 15 years, with an option to extend for an additional 5 years, resulting in a maximum contract duration of 20 years.\nPlease note that the values of £85,400,000 (excluding VAT) and £102,480,000 (including VAT) pertain to the full 20-year period (15 years plus the 5-year extension option).\nThe maximum contract value for the initial 15-year term is £64,050,000 (excluding VAT) and \n£76,860,000 (including VAT).\nThe above figures are indicative and exclusive of annual population growth, inflation, efficiency and convergence.

This advice was received after publication of the Tender Notice and subsequent Contract Award Notice, but before publication of a Contract Details Notice, which has not been published.\nNHSE recommended that the Authority review alternative options that utilise a simpler funding model. Although the provision of a new Day Surgery Unit remains a strategic priority for the Trust, the current commercial model will not be progressed.\nThe Authority was due to present a full business case to the Trust Board, but has now deferred this step to progress a different funding model and delivery option. \nConsequently, all related project activities for a MSO contracting process are being stood down.\nTherefore, the Authority is terminating this procurement in its entirety.

The facility will be a ring-fenced, standalone elective care centre connected to the main hospital to ensure access to inpatient services and diagnostics when required. \nThis model will ensure the delivery of a high-quality, sustainable, and efficient elective surgical service for Mid and South Essex, aligning with national elective recovery priorities. \nThe Authority is seeking to commission a fully managed service offer, providing the operational management and everything from the equipment to the required minimum specification, equipment installation, maintenance and consumables for NHS clinical teams, and potential to contract with the independent and private sector organisations to use. \nThe primary objectives of the unit is to: \n•\tProvide a modern fit for purpose environment for day surgery theatres which supports the Authority’s strategy for being at the leading edge of surgery (through cutting edge equipment and responsiveness) that allows the maximum benefit for the Mid and South Essex population.\n•\tImplement high-volume, low-complexity surgical pathways in line with Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) principles.\n•\tSupport recruitment and retention by providing a dedicated and purpose-built environment.\nThe new 1900m² facility will form a fully functional, well maintained and operational suite and will comprise: \n•\t2 Theatres (laminar flow enabled) for a range of elective procedures. \n•\t1 Enhanced Treatment/Procedure Room for outpatient-based interventions. \n•\tPre- and post-operative recovery areas, including 8 patient pods and 2 ensuite side rooms. \n•\tGeneral spaces: Waiting, administration, admission and discharge areas, and staff welfare facilities. \nThe expectation is that the below specialities (in the form of elective day-case and 23-hour stay surgeries) will use the facilities, but this is expected to evolve over the life of the contract:\n•\tENT \n•\tGeneral Surgery \n•\tPain Management \n•\tOral Surgery \n•\tGynaecology \n•\tBurns and Plastics \n•\tOrthopaedics (excluding complex procedures requiring a clean facility) \n•\tUrology. \nIn addition to providing the aforementioned services, the managed services operator will be required to enter into a separate lease arrangement for the building with a specialist developer/investor.

The scope included:\n- 2 laminar‑flow theatres\n- 1 enhanced treatment/procedure room\n- Recovery areas including 8 pods & 2 ensuite rooms\n- General support spaces.\nThe procurement has been abandoned prior to contract award.\nFollowing discussions with NHS England (NHSE) regarding the Authority’s proposed commercial funding model for developing a new three‑storey building incorporating the DSU on the ground floor, the Authority has been advised not to continue with the proposed commercial approach. This advice was received after publication of the Tender Notice and subsequent Contract Award Notice, but before publication of a Contract Details Notice, which has not been published.\nNHSE recommended that the Authority review alternative options that utilise a simpler funding model. Although the provision of a new Day Surgery Unit remains a strategic priority for the Trust, the current commercial model will not be progressed.\nThe Authority was due to present a full business case to the Trust Board, but has now deferred this step to progress a different funding model and delivery option. \nConsequently, all related project activities for a MSO contracting process are being stood down.\nTherefore, the Authority is terminating this procurement in its entirety.
