## Summary

NHS England is organising a procurement process to appoint a Programme Delivery Partner (PDP) for the New Hospital Programme (NHP), aimed at providing construction project management services under CPV code 71541000. The procurement is currently at the Active Tender stage as of 29th November 2023. The tender calls for expressions of interest from capable organisations to assist in delivering the largest hospital building programme in the last generation, targeting various sites across the UK. The initial contract term is 6.5 years with a potential extension, including a break clause after 4 years. The estimated contract value is £307 million, with the submission deadline set for 19th January 2024.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in architectural, construction, and engineering services, especially those specializing in scheme design and project management. The PDP will help standardise design and delivery approaches, increase supplier participation in the health infrastructure market, and enhance digital, clinical, and workforce operations. Large organisations with substantial expertise in construction project management and consultancy services are well-suited to compete for this contract. With a selective procurement method involving competitive procedure with negotiation, the successful PDP will have the chance to support transformative workstreams and potentially impact wider NHSE requirements beyond NHP.

## Notice

NHSE is appointing a Programme Delivery Partner (PDP) for the New Hospital Programme (NHP) to be the long-term partner to the programme.

The PDP will provide expertise in scheme design, programme and project management expertise to allow NHP to develop a more standardised approach to design and delivery, increase participation from suppliers in the health infrastructure market, and unlock efficiencies and accelerate delivery to allow NHSE to meet the Government's commitment to deliver the biggest hospital building programme in a generation. NHP's ambition is to transform operations across digital, clinical, and workforce workstreams, to identify requirements and translate these into national standards and policies, thereby improving benefits for patients and staff. The PDP interfaces with and supports transformation workstreams, for example supporting the transfer of learning from more advanced Trusts to later ones. The PDP will work with NHSE and NHS Trusts to ensure that the programmatic benefits are increasingly embedded in hospital design and delivery as these benefits are developed.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This procurement is for the long-term Programme Delivery Partner (PDP) for the New Hospitals Programme. NHSE wishes to appoint a PDP to be the long-term partner to the programme.

The PDP will provide expertise in scheme design, programme and project management and commercial expertise to allow NHP to develop a more standardised approach to design and delivery, increase participation from suppliers in the health infrastructure market, and unlock efficiencies and accelerate delivery to allow NHSE to meet the Government's commitment to deliver the biggest hospital building programme in a generation. NHP's ambition is to transform operations across digital, clinical, and workforce workstreams, to identify requirements and translate these into national standards and policies, thereby improving benefits for patients and staff. The PDP interfaces with and supports transformation workstreams, for example supporting the transfer of learning from more advanced Trusts to later ones. The PDP will work with NHSE and NHS Trusts to ensure that the programmatic benefits are increasingly embedded in hospital design and delivery as these benefits are developed. Additional information: The value provided is the estimated Value: PS307 million (excluding VAT) for the first 48 months of the Contract (in accordance with Public Contracts Regulations 2015, reg. 6(19)). All estimated values included within this Contract Award Notice are to be treated as estimates only and do not constitute a guaranteed or cap on spend under the Contract.

Options: 1. Optional Scope - NHSE reserves the right to use the Contract for wider NHSE requirements beyond NHP (NHSE Ancillary Services) and is also procuring the Contract for and on behalf of DHSC and SCCL in respect of Optional Scope. Further information on Optional Scope is included in the accompanying procurement documents. See ITC paragraph 2.1.5 (Optional Scope) and ITC Appendix A1: Outline Scope.
2. Permitted modification - Digital Delivery - NHSE intends to procure a digital delivery partner separately from the PDP. Due to the similar nature of the services and ability for greater integration and efficiencies, NHSE reserves the right (by way of agreement with the PDP) to novate digital delivery services to the PDP. Digital delivery may therefore form part of the PDP Scope of Services during the Contract duration. Accordingly, the anticipated scope of the digital delivery services has been included in this Contract Notice and accompanying procurement documents (including ITC Appendix A1: Outline Scope).
3. Transfer to replacement contracting authority - NHSE reserves the right to transfer the Contract in whole or in part to another public body (or bodies) that during the term of the Contract assume NHSE's delivery obligations (in whole or in part) to deliver the New Hospital Programme or new NHS hospitals through another iteration of the New Hospital Programme.
4. Trust support - the PDP will provide services to support NHSE and NHS Trusts to ensure that the programmatic benefits are increasingly embedded in hospital design and delivery as these benefits are developed. The PDP Services will also enable NHSE to support the Trusts in the delivery of schemes.
5. Extension to duration of the Contract - NHSE reserves the right to extend the term of the Contract in whole or in part or any other combination for up to a further 4 years to no later than 31 March 2035.
