WQ.313/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
BY DEPUTY I. GARDINER OF ST. HELIER NORTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER 2024
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 30th SEPTEMBER 2024
Question
"Will the Minister advise when the tender process for construction of the hospital facilities at Overdale will be published, and where details of the tender will be made available?"
Answer
The formal market engagement for the Overdale Acute hospital facilities is due to commence by the end of September 2024. This will mark the start of the tender process, albeit the purpose of this first stage - the Prior Information Notice (PIN) - is to notify the market of the upcoming procurement activity including the tender as well as inform it. It is anticipated that the full tender process will take approximately nine months, including the PIN.
The PIN will be issued through the Channel Island Tenders and Find a Tender services and inform Main Works Construction suppliers and other associated suppliers that the Government of Jersey wishes to commence market engagement and consultation. It will invite suppliers who would like to engage with New Healthcare Facilities (NHF) Programme to express interest and register to participate in market engagement and take part in a series of webinars to understand more of the specific details and requirements. The NHF team will also inform the Jersey Construction Council of the issue of the PIN as well as the usual communication channels of the Government of Jersey.
NHF is a programme of projects and there will be other procurement activities that will also be taking place in relation to the wider Overdale site during Q4 2024. These are for smaller works and services and so could be anticipated to last one to three months, depending on the scale and scope.
