## Summary

The procurement process initiated by 2gether Support Solutions Ltd., on behalf of East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust, involves planning for the potential funding and construction of a multi-storey car park at William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, Kent. This project, classified under the construction work industry category, intends to address insufficient parking for patients and visitors. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with an essential pre-market engagement questionnaire to be completed and submitted by prospective providers before 16:00 on 24th December 2024. The process will include potential one-on-one meetings to discuss delivery and commercial arrangements, with the official notice date of a future phase anticipated on 13th January 2025. The estimated value of the contract is £25,000,000.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses experienced in construction, architecture, and facilities management. Particularly, it is well-suited for those capable of providing innovative turnkey solutions that include funding mechanisms, design, project management, and ensuring compliance with IFRS 16 to keep solutions off the balance sheet. With the prospect of generating annual revenue for the Trust through the development of the car park, this opportunity is ideal for businesses adept at large-scale infrastructure projects and integrated service delivery. Successful bidders could demonstrate effective funding strategies, as the project necessitates full financial backing from the winning provider or a related partner, with construction expected to begin in early 2025 and span 10 to 11 months.

## 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.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

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: Please note in order to assist prospective suitably experienced, and capable, providers to determine whether this potential opportunity is of interest, the value stated in section II.1.5.1 above is estimated. 

We note that the value may be affected by any subsequent commercial model adopted.
