## Summary

The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has awarded a contract for the construction and maintenance of a new Oncology Wing under a PFI scheme. The project involves repair and maintenance services of building installations in the services category. The contract was signed on 16th January 2023, with a total value of £119,000,000. The contracting process was conducted using a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The main extension decision was made on the date specified in Section V.2.1 of the project documents.

This award presents an opportunity for businesses in the construction, maintenance services, medical equipment, and information systems sectors. MEDIPASS HEALTHCARE LIMITED is the active supplier for the project. The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust invites businesses interested in healthcare-related projects to explore growth opportunities through similar future tenders. The Trust's decision to extend the managed equipment service contract in the PFI Agreement aims to ensure the efficient delivery of oncology services over the project's 33-year duration.

## Notice

In 2001 the Trust ran a competitive procurement process and procured a Project Co to enter into a project agreement relating to the design and build of an oncology centre at St James's University Hospital and the provision of related services ("PFI").

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The OJEU Notice published by the Trust on 18 October 2001 described the project as:

"...the design, build, finance and ongoing maintenance of a large new wing for medical and surgical oncology and associated services. The project includes building maintenance services - operational services such as domestics, catering and portering are not included in the project. The supply and maintenance of equipment (including IT clinical treatment systems and PACS) will form an integral and substantial element of the project. The new wing will include linear accelerator bunkers, in-patient beds, operating theatres and critical care beds. The value of the services is not yet known. The estimated capital value of the project is approximately PS136 million." Additional information: The MES Contract is an integrated part of the PFI. The term of the PFI is 33 years and the initial term of the MES Contract is 15 years from the 'Actual Completion Date' of 14 December 2007. The PFI provides for a possible extension to the MES Contract in the form of a clear, precise and unequivocal review clause. 

Section V.2.1) below is the date of the decision to award the Main Extension

Options: Option to extend the term length of the managed equipment service contract ("MES Contract") in schedule 13, clause 12 PFI Agreement.

### Procurement Information

The 'Equipment Term' is defined in schedule 1 of the PFI Agreement as 15 years. The Trust's position is that the extension to the MES contract is a permitted modification under Regulation 72(1)(a) Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended) ("PCR 2015"). The PFI confers an opportunity for the Project Co to deliver MES services for the full 33 years by virtue of a clear, precise and unequivocal contractual clause in schedule 13, clause 12 of the PFI, which permits the Trust to extend the 'Equipment Term' thereby extending the responsibilities of Project Co for the delivery of MES services.

Schedule 13, clause 12 of the PFI provides that at the end of the 'Equipment Term' the Trust has an option to extend:

"12 At the expiry of the Equipment Term, the Trust may, at its option, elect in respect of each item of Equipment to:-
...
12.2 extend the Equipment Term subject to agreement by the parties..."

Clause 12 does not limit the duration of the extension to the 'Equipment Term' and the Trust considers it is permitted to extend the MES Contract to the end of the term of the PFI. The Extended Period will be on the same terms and price as provided for in the initial term of the MES Contract therefore the economic balance of the arrangement is not in favour of the MES Contract provider. 

The Contract Notice published on 18 October 2001 states the "33 years from financial close (although the medical equipment element is expected to run for 15 years)". The Trust considers that this is merely describing the initial term of the MES contract whereas the project documents awarded expressly provide for the MES Contract to be extended at the expiry of the initial 15 years. Therefore, the Trust does not consider the Contract Notice to preclude the possibility of an extension of the MES Contract within the 33-year duration of the PFI.
