Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust seeks partner for medical waste project
The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust has announced it is seeking to appoint a partner to provide and deliver a strategic solution for the Sterile Services and Endoscopy Decontamination Facilities for the Trust.
The Trust is expecting the partner to be appointed to initially undertake the Design, Build and Equipping of a new facility (circa 2 000 m²) from which decontamination services would be provided. The appointed provider will be initially tasked with providing the Design Services; and the Trust may decide to elect to exercise incremental options under the arrangement to require the performance of the Build, Equip and incremental option requirements.
The Trust wishes to use the Initial Engagement Stage of the competitive dialogue to explore with the shortlisted bidders possible and viable solutions and approaches to deliver the Trust's needs. The Trust is keen to explore the commercial and operational feasibility, as well as potential competitiveness, in incorporating a long-term service arrangement to maintain the building facility; providing ongoing managed services in relation to machinery, equipment and surgical instruments; and providing decontamination services on a managed service and/or joint venture basis.
The Initial Engagement Stage exercise will enable the Trust to resolve its ‘Designated Solution’ as a more defined Contract Specification which bidders will be invited to tender against. Therefore, the final Contract Specification has not been resolved at this stage and the Trusts' requirements will be informed by, and finalized after, the completion of the Initial Engagement Stage.
The Trust is currently sourcing its own land options, which might be included during the process but currently it is envisioned that this will only be presented later on through the process as it becomes necessary to establish the finer details of space. Bidders will be expected to provide options in securing sites within the logistical boundaries on which to build a new CSSD facility for the Trust.
The deadline for submitting proposals is October 31, 2016.
