This project, classified under construction work, utilised a negotiated procedure without prior publication, justified under Regulation 32 (2) (b) (iii). The contract, valued at approximately £8,259,299.51, commenced on 20 July 2021 and is set to conclude on 1 December 2022. The works were awarded to Leamside Estates Limited after a tender process that concluded on 19 July 2021. This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in healthcare facility development or refurbishment. Companies that are prepared to deliver timely and efficient services within the specified location and are capable of mobilising quickly would be well-suited to engage in similar future tenders. The emphasis on proximity to a major hospital and the provision of intergenerational care activities opens avenues for businesses that can enhance community integration while meeting health service demands. ## Notice The Council currently operates its intermediary care provision across 3 centres but there is a need to move the provision to a fit for purpose, single site care provision to ensure that the needs of the population are met now and for future years to come. The fundamental considerations for the location of a single site centre were both its proximity to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead and having good transport links for family and carers to get to, to visit loved ones. Therefore, the location requirement was for the new intermediary care centre to be located within a 1-mile radius of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The delivery of a timely development is required to enable the existing intermediate care provision to transfer to a fit for purpose development, which will deliver essential savings. It was a requirement for the new centre to be within very close proximity to a primary school to enable an essential intergenerational activity programme that is currently ran within an existing intermediate care centre to continue at the new centre. The Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication has been followed and was justified under Regulation 32 (2) (b) (iii) for the award of a public works contracts for development of an intermediate care centre at Gretna Terrace, Gateshead NE10 0BS. The development site meets the Council's fundamental location requirements being within the 1-mile radius of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead with good transport links. The Works could only be supplied by a particular economic operator due to their exclusive rights as landowner of the development site. A timely delivery of the development can be met because the site is cleared, has planning permission in place and will be delivered on a turn-key basis. There were no reasonable alternative or substitute development sites within the desired location that could meet the delivery timescales. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/efebf09d-730d-433f-b4cd-3b1130116a2a | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure without prior publication (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 19 Jul 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Jul 2021 | | Contract period | 19 Jul 2021 - 1 Dec 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £8,259,299 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £8,259,299 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GATESHEAD COUNCIL | | Locality | GATESHEAD | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE8 1HH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Gateshead | | Electoral ward | Bridges | | Westminster constituency | Gateshead Central and Whickham | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | LEAMSIDE ESTATES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 23 Sep 2021 at 15:00 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/efebf09d-730d-433f-b4cd-3b1130116a2a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/efebf09d-730d-433f-b4cd-3b1130116a2a 23rd September 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
