This procurement is classified under the health services industry and is taking place in Swindon, England. Currently in the planning stage, the authority aims to engage with potential providers before progressing to formal tendering. Key milestones include an engagement event scheduled for 19 July 2019, with a registration deadline of 17 July 2019. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, design and construction, as well as those with experience in operational management of such facilities. Companies that are interested in collaborating on innovative service delivery models or forming strategic partnerships with Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust would be well-positioned to compete. This initiative aims to meet growing demand while optimising the use of space and clinical pathways within the hospital's services. ## Notice The Authority has the option to purchase some expansion land, adjacent to the hospital, which will provide the Authority with an opportunity to address demand growth. At present, the Authority operates an in-house private patients provision, within the main hospital build, but the Authority is looking to reconfigure its front door services and is exploring the opportunity for relocating service provisions to optimise space and clinical pathways. We are, therefore, looking for interest from potential partners who would undertake the design, build and [full or part] operation of a Private Patient facility for a fixed term contract period. We are looking for proposals from experienced providers, with proven experience in offering a high quality solution, along with demonstrable experience in contractual relationships that rely upon the design, build and operation of such services. We would be keen to explore whether providers would be interested in developing a joint private patient offering or understanding what contract arrangements could be possible which would financially benefit the Trust. We are interested in developing some form of partnership with an interested provider and would be open to discussing options for such an arrangement. Next steps: Prior to any future procurement process, GWH NHS FT wishes to engage with interested providers who would like to learn more about the requirement and service delivery options. Interested parties should be keen to establish a forward thinking and innovative relationship with GWH NHS FT. The Pre-procurement Market Engagement Event will take place on Friday 19.07.2019 from 10:30 to 12:30 in Swindon. There will be a presentation and questions at this session. Potential providers interested in attending the Pre-procurement Market Engagement event should register by requesting the Attendee Registration Form from gwh.businessdevelopment@nhs.net and return it by 17.07.2019 to the same email address (gwh.businessdevelopment@nhs.net). As part of this market engagement piece, feedback will be sought from those who attend, by way of a questionnaire, which will be sent following the event. The Authority would be grateful for all attending organisations to complete and return this by the requested deadline. The exact address for the session will be published to those that register their interest to attend. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c0cf54ea-7f04-4a70-94b8-a725bbfc392c | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 8 Oct 2019 | | 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 | BATH AND NORTHEAST SOMERSET, SWINDON AND WILTSHIRE STP | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN3 6BB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Ridgeway | | Westminster constituency | East Wiltshire | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 8 Jul 2019 at 14:57 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c0cf54ea-7f04-4a70-94b8-a725bbfc392c - 8 Jul 2019 at 14:29 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c0cf54ea-7f04-4a70-94b8-a725bbfc392c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c0cf54ea-7f04-4a70-94b8-a725bbfc392c 8th July 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
