The project falls under the construction industry category with specific classifications related to building construction work and hospital facilities construction. The engagement end date for this opportunity is 19th August 2022. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in building construction and health-related facility development, to participate in the upcoming project. Interested organisations will need to meet financial requirements, including a turnover threshold of £350m, and identify their intended construction contractor for the hospital shell and core works. SMEs and VCSEs are also encouraged to engage with this tender to potentially contribute to the project's success. ## Notice This notice is to alert the market to the progress of the procurement for the new hospital extension at the Kent and Canterbury site (the Project), as communicated in Contracts Finder notice reference tender_295774/1031518. This notice is not being used to commence any public procurement process, of any kind. The Trust is seeking to alert the market to the impending issue of the Contract Notice (anticipated launch date 19th August 2022). Additional information: Interested organisations should note that public consultation has not yet been carried out. Interested organisations will be required to respond to the Selection Questionnaire (SQ) and, if successful at that stage, invited to participate in dialogue on Outline Solutions in order to allow the Trust to understand the viability and deliverability of the Project. The procurement process will be paused following receipt of Outline Solutions to enable the Trust to carry out public consultation. The procurement process will only restart if the Trust is satisfied that the Project is viable and deliverable and is the preferred option following public consultation. In order to ensure the deliverability of the Project if awarded, as part of the SQ, the Trust will require interested organisations to demonstrate appropriate financial standing. Further details will be included in the SQ (which will be available once the Contract Notice has been published), but the Trust is keen to highlight certain requirements to enable interested parties additional time to consider their approach: 1. The Trust will require bidders to meet a turnover threshold of PS350m Interested organisations can meet this from their own resources, through forming a consortium or by relying on key subcontractors. Whilst, in accordance with good practice, the Trust will have some discretion to take account of mitigating factors where a bidder does not meet the threshold, the Trust's concern will be to ensure that any appointed organisation is able to deliver and stand behind the Hospital Shell and Core Works, which have an estimated value in excess of PS200m. Therefore, interested organisations are advised to ensure that they can meet the turnover threshold, either alone or with other, named organisations (such as the construction contractor or any housing providers or house builders). 2. Identification of the intended construction contractor for the Hospital Shell and Core Works. Regardless of whether an interested organisation intends to rely on the capacity of the construction contractor to meet the turnover threshold, the Trust will require interested organisations to confirm the identity of the intended construction contractor and to provide financial information for that organisation (or to confirm that they will be carrying out the construction works, as the case may be). This financial information will be assessed as part of the Trust's holistic review of the financial risk associated with a bidder's proposed bid/contract structure. Further details will be set out in the SQ. Interested organisations should note that when naming other organisations as consortium members or subcontractors, they will be required to provide evidence that the named organisation has agreed to be put forward for the project in that capacity. Further details will be included in the SQ. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c93186d-44aa-4ecb-834c-c2943df03bb7 | | 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 | 12 Aug 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 19 Aug 2022 | | 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 | EAST KENT HOSPITALS UNIVERSITY | | Locality | CANTERBURY | | Post town | Canterbury | | Postcode | CT1 3NG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ44 East Kent | | Local authority | Canterbury | | Electoral ward | Barton | | Westminster constituency | Canterbury | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45100000 - Site preparation work - 45200000 - Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work - 45210000 - Building construction work - 45215000 - Construction work for buildings relating to health and social services, for crematoriums and public conveniences - 45215100 - Construction work for buildings relating to health - 45215140 - Hospital facilities construction work - 45300000 - Building installation work - 45400000 - Building completion work - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 71200000 - Architectural and related services - 71500000 - Construction-related services ## Release History - 12 Aug 2022 at 11:34 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c93186d-44aa-4ecb-834c-c2943df03bb7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c93186d-44aa-4ecb-834c-c2943df03bb7 12th August 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.ekhuft.nhs.uk/patients-and-visitors/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
