This procurement will be run via a Restricted procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. 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 Concrete throughout circa 80% 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 ALDT (including Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, Digital Architect) to provide services covering RIBA Stages 2 to 3.
