Royal Cornwall Hospital seeks partner for health PPP
The Royal Cornwall Hospital, located on the outskirts of Truro, Cornwall, England, intends to procure a contract with a strategic partner for the provision of Pathology services through a public-private partnership.
The Royal Cornwall Hospital is a medium-sized teaching hospital used for clinical training of medical students from the Peninsula Medical School, which is maintained by the University of Plymouth and the University of Exeter.
It is one of three main hospitals operated by the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust, the others being St Michael's Hospital, Hayle and West Cornwall Hospital, Penzance.
The Royal Cornwall Hospital is seeking a partner in the areas of Clinical Microbiology & Virology, Haematology & Blood Transfusion, Clinical Biochemistry, Cellular & Molecular Pathology and Cervical Cytology.
The private partner will manage the Pathology Managed Laboratory Service, laboratory equipment, design build and finance the reconfiguration of existing laboratory space, maintenance and servicing and all other associated consumables, reagents, auxiliary goods and equipment in addition to training, associated services and installation.
The provider will provide a single point of access for supply, maintenance, monitoring and replacement of all equipment in scope necessary to provide the pathology service based at RCH, including out-stationed equipment and point of care services. The provider will work with the pathology team to ensure the equipment provided meets the needs of the service as defined by the service specification.
The procurement includes the necessity to manage the financial, transitional and operational demands of an improved Pathology estate via refurbishment/upgrade/rebuild.
The deadline for submission of proposals is 11 April 2016.
