Lot Information

Lot 1

The Trust wishes to appoint a Strategic Estates Partner ("SEP"). The appointment of a SEP, contrasted to individual site-by-site procurements, is the Trust's response to the market's appetite for large scale projects and, in turn, allows it to benefit from cohesive cross-body team structures and economies of scale. At the heart of the partnership should be innovation, a journey towards net zero carbon emissions and a collaborative approach to deliver outstanding ambulance hubs and Emergency Operation Centre facilities across the East, to scale up the operational power of one of the nation's most vital emergency services. Bidders will be asked how they would identify sites and bring forward business cases (under the strategic partnership agreement) for developments in the locations in its East of England region. The Key Objectives of the SEP are: (i) to identify sites and offer innovative and cost-effective business cases for those sites, subject to business cases being accepted by the Trust;, (ii) to provide high-quality site locations, to be assessed using the Trust's proximity and layout criteria; (iii) to construct exceptional facilities to be rentalised over a 20-30 year (approx.) period; and (iv) to work in a genuine partnership to achieve the goals of the Trust both present and future. The Trust appreciates much of the work to be conducted by the SEP will be done at risk and will look to streamline the procurement with a shortlist of exceptional bidders (3). In terms of duration, the SEP will operate for an initial period of ten years, with the option to extend the arrangement for a further five years. It is anticipated that leases in respect of each completed site will have a duration of between 20-30 years. [1462 characters]

Renewal: The SEP will operate for an initial period of ten (10) years, with the option to extend for a further five (5) years.
