The project involves reconfiguring the Silver End Surgery in Braintree District, Essex, to cater for predicted growth and improve patient services. The budget for the project is approximately £345,000, with procurement documents expected to be issued in mid-June and responses closing 30 days later. Interested bidders are required to confirm their interest by email by 5pm on Wednesday 22 May 2024. This tender presents an opportunity for Design and Build contractors in the construction industry, particularly those providing services related to health and construction consultancy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in this procurement process. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with the procurement route to be determined after the Early Engagement exercise. The project location is in Braintree District, Essex, and suitable businesses should be prepared to submit completed questionnaires by Thursday 23 May 2024. ## Notice Braintree District Council (BDC) is seeking Design and Build contractors in relation to the reconfiguration of the Silver End Surgery is located in Silver End, Braintree District, Essex. Plans available on request. The surgery is owned by BDC and leased by HCRG Care Group. It is a purpose-built surgery that was constructed in 1997. However, it is smaller than the recognised standard for the practice's current weighted patient list size of just over 4,000. Predicted growth will impact the practice and increase pressure on existing space in the surgery. It is therefore important to the delivery of patient's services that best use is made of the space available. The building is detached, but has a small overall footprint meaning that an extension to the property is not possible. There is an upstairs, however this space is restricted by the roof and does not lend itself to further expansion. A reconfiguration scheme that results in more space dedicated to patient consultations would be a welcome improvement. Available on request, is an example reconfiguration plan, which shows some suggested improvements and also include removing the examination rooms and having an examination area in the consulting rooms, making the waiting room into a new consulting room and changing the reception / records area and main entrance into a reception and waiting area. However, we are open to consider different layouts. Ideally we would like to create two extra consulting rooms and reception would need to be behind a screen to protect patient privacy, as the waiting area would be much closer to reception. The current budget for this project is in the region of PS345,000. The procurement documents are estimated to be issued in mid-June with the receipt of responses closing 30 days later. The procurement route will be agreed following this Early Engagement exercise. A questionnaire will be sent to interested bidders for completion. Please confirm your interest via sending an email to lili.roqueta@braintree.gov.uk with cc to jenny.beck@braintree.gov.uk as soon as possible and by 5pm on Wednesday 22 May 2024 at the latest. Questionnaires subsequently sent via email to suppliers must be completed by Thursday 23 May 2024. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7fd59402-0c7e-4ed5-ae49-655bbc5a8bbe | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 22 May 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRAINTREE DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | BRAINTREE | | Post town | Chelmsford | | Postcode | CM7 9HB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH34 Essex Haven Gateway | | Local authority | Braintree | | Electoral ward | Bocking South | | Westminster constituency | Braintree | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45215100 - Construction work for buildings relating to health - 71530000 - Construction consultancy services ## Release History - 23 Apr 2024 at 13:22 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7fd59402-0c7e-4ed5-ae49-655bbc5a8bbe ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7fd59402-0c7e-4ed5-ae49-655bbc5a8bbe 23rd April 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
