This project, valued at £170 million, involves significant hospital facilities construction work at the site located on Ethelbert Road, Canterbury. The Trust is organising a market sounding engagement event set for the week commencing 28th March 2022 to gather insights and ideas from potential developers regarding the project design and contracting approach. Interested parties must register via the Trust's e-Tendering portal and sign a Confidentiality Agreement to access further details. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for construction firms and developers, particularly those with experience in health-related infrastructure projects. Businesses that specialise in hospital facilities construction, site preparation, and civil engineering are well-suited to engage in this process. Additionally, companies looking to secure future development opportunities near the hospital site, including purchasing adjacent land from local councils, may find this tender particularly beneficial for expanding their operations and enhancing their market presence in the healthcare infrastructure sector. ## Notice Potential provision of a new build extension to the existing Kent and Canterbury Hospital, enabling, access and supporting infrastructure works for East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust (the "Trust") at a site at Ethelbert Road, north of Dover Road, Canterbury at nil consideration, i.e. a donated asset, to the Trust. The proposed hospital development site is currently in local Council ownership. The potential development is coupled with the opportunity for the prospective developer to purchase land adjacent to the hospital development site from Kent County Council and Canterbury City Council for independent future development. The Trust is issuing this notice to alert the market to a market sounding engagement exercise that will take place week commencing 28th March 2022, to explore the opportunity and to inform the Trust's approach to the potential delivery of the project. This notice is not being used to commence any public procurement process of any kind. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The NHS in east Kent, led by local doctors working with frontline staff, patients, the public and other stakeholders, has developed two options to deliver safe, high quality, sustainable hospital services for local people. Both options require approximately PS460 million of central capital investment. They provide a once in a generation opportunity to make the changes needed to deliver the quality and consistency of health services that the people of east Kent need and deserve. Either option would deliver significant improvements for local people compared to now. No preferred option has been identified. No final decision will be made until after a formal public consultation. The current national process means public consultation cannot take place until central capital investment has been identified. East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust is seeking the capital required to deliver either option. A Pre-Consultation Business Case setting out the case for change and detailed investment case for both options, has passed the rigorous NHS England and NHS Improvement assurance process and has the support, and approval, of both the NHS Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group's Governing Body and East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust's Board. The two options: Option 1: Two site Emergency Department model, with William Harvey Hospital (WHH) as the major emergency centre. Under Option 1, redevelopment works would be undertaken at WHH and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother (QEQM) Hospital, together with limited refurbishment at Kent and Canterbury Hospital (K&C). The works are proposed to be delivered through an existing NHS construction framework, funded by public capital. Option 2: One site Emergency Department model with K&C as the major emergency centre. Under Option 2, the existing K&C facilities would be extended to include a new circa 594,000 square feet build extension, together with enabling, access and associated infrastructure works funded and delivered by a developer (the "Option 2 Shell and Core Works") on land currently in local Council ownership adjacent to the existing K&C site (the "Hospital Development Site"). The proposal for Option 2 includes on completion of the works, or earlier by agreement, East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust (the "Trust") commissioning the fit-out of the new build extension to the K&C (the "Option 2 Trust Fit Out Works") together with some new build, refurbishment reconfiguration at both WHH and QEQM (together the "Option 2 Trust Works"). The Option 2 Trust Works are proposed to be delivered through an existing NHS construct The opportunity for a prospective developer is to purchase the proposed Hospital Development Site, together with the freehold of approximately 37 acres (14.38 acres from Kent County Council (KCC) and 22.72 acres from Canterbury City Council (CCC)) of land adjacent to the Hospital Development Site for independent future development (the "Master Plan Site") from KCC and CCC and to deliver the Option 2 Shell and Core Works at nil consideration, i.e. a donated asset, to the Trust, prior to development of the Master Plan Site (the "Project"). The Trust is conducting a market sounding exercise for the Project, which is the purpose of this notice. The Trust will also conduct a separate market sounding exercises for Option 1 and Option 2 Trust Works. Additional information: The estimated total value provided in II.1.5 represents the total estimated value of the costs involved in providing the Option 2 Shell and Core Works. However, the Option 2 Shell and Core Works are expected to be delivered for nil consideration by the Trust, i.e. a donated asset. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005483-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | 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 | 28 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 24 Apr 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £170,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | EAST KENT HOSPITALS UNIVERSITY NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | 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 | TLJ44 East Kent | ## 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 - 28 Feb 2022 at 22:45 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005483-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://commercialsolutions.bravosolution.co.uk - https://commercialsolutions.bravosolution.co.uk/ - https://www.ekhuft.nhs.uk/patients-and-visitors/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
