Notice Information

Notice Title

Strategic Estate Partner - new ambulance hub facilities

Notice Description

East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (the "Trust") is about to embark on an ambitious project to enter into a long-term arrangement with a Strategic Estate Partner ("SEP") to design, build and finance new ambulance hub facilities at a number of sites. The Trust intends to enter into development agreements for lease with the SEP in respect of the Trust's site in Ipswich and a site to be identified by the SEP in Cambridge, under which the SEP would construct the required facilities before granting leases to the Trust on practical completion. At the same time, the Trust intends to enter into a strategic partnering agreement with the SEP pursuant to which the SEP would bring forward business cases, to develop new facilities in a number of other locations across the East. In each case the Trust anticipates that the SEP would obtain finance to acquire and develop the relevant sites on the basis of costs being rentalised under leases to the Trust over a 20-30 year period. The purpose of this notice is to announce a pre-market engagement exercise to consult with prospective bidders about this opportunity, discuss current thinking and ensure the Trust is in the best possible position to launch a formal procurement process later this year. In terms of the activities over the next few weeks, the Trust's pre-market engagement exercise will consist of a combination of: (i) a webinar (to take place at Thursday, 20 October @ 11:00-12:00 GMT, places can be reserved by registering here ): https://teams.microsoft.com/registration/PBcXWq93d0mZPeH4ulnvXw,UBvj9N6fyE6YthpXJp6gSA,Ep1YRXV3vUCof_40H-moFQ,elZ1Jk5mXUWK0hvRzWr5YQ,cc2Dr7_1OUeRkhcU4G_ATg,FKo7np45KEW17UNNy3Pl2w?mode=read&tenantId=5a17173c-77af-4977-993d-e1f8ba59ef5f The Trust will explain more about its ambitions for the SEP); (ii) considering responses to a short questionnaire (accessible via Bravo https://eoecph.bravosolution.co.uk/eastamb/ - deadline for responses: Friday, 28 October @ 17:00 GMT; and (iii) potentially 'one to one' consultations with selected developers who respond to the questionnaire and whose response would benefit from some further clarification (scheduled to take place w/c 7 November 2022). Further information on the activities to be conducted during the pre-market engagement exercise and our current thinking on the procurement process more generally can be found in the pre-market engagement document referred to above. The Trust anticipates that the value of the initial term of the contract would be in the region of GBP PS135,000,000. However, this is an indicative figure only based on its current 'core' scope of requirements and on the assumption that the overarching partnership agreement with the SEP would be in place for a duration of approximately five years (the Trust is interested to hear your views on this topic). You need to register on Bravo (our e-tendering portal) if you have not already to express an interest and download additional information/documents.
