## Summary

NHS South West - Acutes is initiating an open procedure tender for the construction of a new changing places facility at West Cornwall Hospital in Penzance. The procurement, classified under CPV 45000000 for construction work, involves reconfiguring existing WC facilities into a modern, accessible changing facility aligned with current building standards. Key dates for this tender include an end date for submissions by 20th September 2024, with the contract period commencing on 27th September 2024 and concluding on 12th December 2024. The initiative, valued at GBP 200,000, aims to enhance the hospital's accessible services as part of its ongoing redevelopment plans.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SME construction firms, given its suitability considerations. Businesses specialising in healthcare infrastructure, building modifications, or accessible facility installations would be well-positioned to compete. Engagement in this project can enhance a company's portfolio and reputation in the healthcare sector, potentially leading to further contracts within the NHS system and beyond. The open procurement method ensures a fair and competitive process, providing an excellent growth opportunity for qualifying enterprises.

## Notice

West Cornwall Hospital, located in Penzance, provides a wide range of healthcare services including Urgent Treatment Centre, medical wards, x-ray facilities and an outpatient department. Work has recently started on the new outpatient block and is due to complete by March 2025. As part of the redevelopment plans, The Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust (RCHT) is seeking to improve the accessible facilities at West Cornwall Hospital and therefore proposes to introduce a new changing places facility at the hospital. Existing male WC, female WC and accessible WC, located just off the main entrance lobby will be reconfigured into the new changing places facility. The redevelopment encompasses the modification of the existing building services within these spaces ensuring alignment with the standard set out in relevant HTMs, HBNs and Building Regulations.
