The project is situated on Level 3 in Guys Tower Wing and entails the upgrade of the existing IR suite including installation of a new imaging machine and a new ventilation system to achieve theatre-level standards. The scheme also includes the creation of a new recovery area, a new Fluoroscopy procedure room, as well as ancillary space. As this service is critical to Guys Hospital, to remain functional throughout the duration of the project a complex phasing strategy will need to be in place. The project will be procured via a two-stage tender process (PCSA followed by the main contract). The successful contractor will enter into a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA), at which point the design team will be novated to the contractor. Following novation, the contractor will assume full responsibility for progressing, developing, and completing the design during the PCSA stage, alongside development of the construction methodology, programme, phasing strategy, logistics, and cost plan. The contractor will then enter into the main works contract to deliver the construction phase.
