This notice, published on 22nd November 2024, seeks early engagement from experienced providers to both finance and construct the car park. Key dates include an engagement end date of 24th December 2024. This project falls under the construction industry category, with relevant CPV codes including 45000000 (Construction work) and more specific codes related to car park and building construction. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, architectural, and engineering services. Businesses capable of providing innovative turnkey solutions that ensure both project financing and revenue generation for the Trust will be highly suited to compete. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are encouraged to participate. The engagement process entails registering interest on the e-Tendering portal by 16:00 on 24th December 2024, after which one-on-one meetings may be conducted for further discussions. This presents a lucrative opportunity for growth, particularly for firms adept in managing complex construction projects with the added requirement of addressing financial compliance standards like IFRS 16. ## Notice 2gether Support Solutions Ltd. (herein referred to as "our" or "us" or "we") was formed in April 2018 as a new, wholly owned subsidiary company of one of the largest NHS Foundation Trusts in the UK, East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust (the "Trust"). We provide essential support services to the Trust from facilities and property management to catering, procurement and portering. On behalf of the Trust, we are seeking to determine the level of potential interest from, and capability of, suitably experienced providers who will both fund and construct a patient and visitors only multi-storey car park at the William Harvey Hospital, Ashford, Kent. It has been recognised by the Trust that there is insufficient parking for patients and visitors at William Harvey Hospital and a potential multi-storey car park is a potential solution. The Trust however does not have the benefit of any capital funding for the construction of a multi-storey car park and therefore any proposed solution will need to be fully funded by, or through, the prospective bidder / relevant partner. In addition, the proposed solution must ensure that there is no IFRS 16 impact on the Trust's balance sheet. We are anticipating a 10 to 11 month construction programme to commence at the earliest opportunity in 2025. We therefore wish to engage with prospective suitably experienced, and capable, providers to identify appropriate innovative turnkey schemes that can generate annual revenue for the Trust (whilst also financing the capital funding requirement) and inform the most appropriate design, procurement and contracting approach to maximise market interest in this project, including: i) every aspect of the patient and visitors only multi-storey car park development process, from design and planning and project management through to construction, legal related matters and contracts; and ii) a compliant IFRS 16 solution that remains off balance sheet. Additional information: This notice does NOT form part of any formal procurement process, and in publishing this notice, we do NOT give any guarantees to the potential final approach of any subsequent procurement strategy.

It should be noted that by returning the Pre-Market Engagement Envelope is NOT an actual selection questionnaire.

There will be an opportunity for participants to asks questions and provide further feedback. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a88353b-5ceb-4284-843e-537a41a6c386 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | 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 | 22 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 24 Dec 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 | EAST KENT HOSPITALS UNIVERSITY NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | ASHFORD | | Post town | Tonbridge | | Postcode | TN24 0LZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ45 Mid Kent | | Local authority | Ashford | | Electoral ward | Willesborough | | Westminster constituency | Ashford | | 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 - 45213312 - Car park building construction work - 45223000 - Structures construction work - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 71200000 - Architectural and related services ## Release History - 22 Nov 2024 at 08:58 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a88353b-5ceb-4284-843e-537a41a6c386 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a88353b-5ceb-4284-843e-537a41a6c386 22nd November 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
