Infrastructure Ontario and Lakeridge Health have issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to design, build, and finance the Bowmanville Hospital Redevelopment project.

The expansion to the Bowmanville Hospital will be almost double the size of the current hospital, enabling increased healthcare capacity in the Durham Region. It will expand critical care services and introduce modern, patient-centered facilities including private rooms, ambulatory care clinics, and a hemodialysis center.

The RFQ is the first step in the process of selecting a team to deliver the project. Submissions will be reviewed to shortlist teams with the required design and construction experience applicable to this project, as well as the financial capacity to deliver a project of this size and complexity. Shortlisted teams will then be invited to respond to a request for proposals (RFP), which is expected to be released in early 2025. Interested companies must register on merx.com to download the RFQ.
