Description

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MCHFT) (the "Authority") is issuing this Invitation to Tender ("ITT") in connection with the competitive procurement of Architect Lead Design Team Services for the New Development of Leighton Hospital Campus.

This procurement will be run via a Restricted procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("PCR").

MCHFT is in the initial stages of a new project to construct a new hospital, which will replace the existing Leighton Hospital which is affected by Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concreate (RAAC) throughout circa 80.00% of its buildings. The vision for the project is to design and build a new state of the art hospital that will play a vital role at the heart of the community, placing digital innovation at the forefront of health services designed to tackle inequalities and meet the needs of a growing and ageing population. The ambition is that this project will transform the quality of healthcare for the people of Cheshire and across the Northwest of England.

At the centre of the programme will be the "hospital 2.0" concept, a vision for how hospital schemes can be delivered with greater efficiency and reduced cost. An integrated systems approach will provide "optimised, standardised and repeatable solutions for scheme development, design, construction, and operation.

The purpose of this procurement exercise is to appoint an Architect Lead Design Team (including Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, Digital Architect) to provide services covering RIBA Stages 2 to 3.

The Authority is seeking interest from consultants who will provide the service of an Architect who will also act as the lead design coordinator of an Architect-Led Design Team (ALDT), including Wayfinding, Digital Architect, and the below services:

Core Architectural Services, Lead Design Coordinator and the below specialisms:
• Medical Equipment
• Daylight/Sunlight
• Wind
• Landscaping
• Catering
• Waste and Logistics
• Lighting
• Acoustics
• Inclusive Design
• Façade Access
• Façade Engineering

Core Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) Engineering Services and the below specialisms:
• BREEAM
• Net Zero Carbon
• IT and AV
• Lifts
• Security
• Fire Engineering

Core Civil and Structural (C&S) Engineering Services and the below specialism:
• Transport Planning

Please note that Principal Designer services are to be provided by others and not by the Architect Lead Design Team.

The Authority reserves the right to extend the contract for the Architect Lead Design Team beyond RIBA stage 3 without the need for a further procurement exercise but through way of novation. In exercising its discretion to extend, the Authority will consider the successful bidder's performance up to the point it is considering any extension and weather any benefit to the overall programme to extending with the current supplier outweighs any potential benefit in carrying out a further procurement exercise.
