The largest site is St Mary's Hospital site which covers 24,6 hectares including agricultural land to the north of the hospital. A total of 52 buildings at St Mary's provide a combined gross floor area of 52 006m2. These buildings differ significantly in terms of the age profile and, linked to this, suitability for modern health care services (the oldest building dates back to circa 1785).The Priority Services (more particularly described below) will be transferred to the Partner upon appointment of the successful Partner or shortly thereafter to be performed by the Partner through the JV.

The Partner is also expected to provide access to, arrange and deliver private sector capital where required to finance New Projects. New Projects may involve (but are not limited to) capital works; refurbishment works; disposal and/or acquisition of land; facilities to support NHS services, related health and social care services as well as commercial developments.Initial New Projects may potentially include:— The delivery of a new reception centre at St Mary's Hospital (including third party income generation opportunities)— The delivery of a sub acute facility at St Mary's Hospital for post acute care and rehabilitation.— The delivery of a retirement village.(2) Integrator Services – including the provision of the operational project management services in procuring, co-ordinating and managing external contractors engaged to deliver any proposed and approved New Projects to deliver capital requirements for works, fabrication or traditional estate project procurements and also any external contractors required to deliver Secondary Services approved by the Trust.

The Partner (through the JV) will therefore provide an integrator role in procuring and coordinating these third-party providers to deliver schemes and services for the benefit of the Trust.The opportunity is to provide a strategic, development, investment, procurement, project management and contract management role in delivering capital projects and transforming services but the scope does not include the performance of delivering the detailed design and construction aspects of the New Projects or the performance of Secondary Services themselves.The JV partnership with the successful Partner will be for a period of 15 years with an option (at the sole discretion of the Trust) to extend the contract for a further 5 years.The Trust is also interested in the JV seeking other commercial and income generation opportunities in the public and private sector market over the long-term.Further details of the opportunity are provided in the memorandum of information accompanying the pre-qualification questionnaire (see section VI.3 (Additional Information) for details of how to obtain these).
