A 4group company
In response to your "Hospital Review Panel - Review of the New Healthcare Facilities Programme", we wish to provide the following feedback, from your questions
"The Panel is keen to hear from stakeholders in the construction, supplier and services sectors, as well as industry representatives and associated professionals, in relation to the procurement of work on projects within the Programme. The Panel would therefore be grateful for your responses to the following questions: "
- Please can you tell us whether you attended the Construction and Supplier Forum facilitated by the Programme team in November 2023? Did you provide feedback about procurement contracts, notice periods and timescales for undertaking works on the Programme? If so, have you received any follow-up communications or engagement since this event?
4safety attended the event on the 6th November, but have had no further communication from the team, to 4safety Limited. We are aware of another event held in the last few weeks, which we were not invited too. As we are a supplier of training to the local industry, we are only notified on the portal of training opportunities. This was extremely disappointing. If the JeCC were to have been made aware of the follow up event, this would have been open to more contractors and suppliers. We have since found out more details from contractors and suppliers that attended. Better engagement with the local sector must be fostered for the project to be successful and to ensure that some of the money stays on island to assist with the circular economy.
- Have you been made aware of opportunities to engage with projects within the Programme on the Government's Proactis online portal? If so, have you expressed interest in engaging with any projects related to the Programme through the Proactis online portal?
4safety are a training company, so won't be conducting a project directly, but will be providing local relevant training solutions to the contractors and sub-contractors that are working on your projects.
- Have you engaged directly with the Programme team regarding opportunities to undertake works on projects as part of the Programme?
As above.
- Do you feel that you understand how contractors are being procured to undertake works on the Programme?
No as we were not invited to attend the follow up meetings. We did attend a Chamber of Commerce event, which was we felt was a sell to their members about how the project was going to engage with the local industry, but we have seen little evidence of that so far, other than to select companies which are on your portal.
- Do you feel that you understand how works on projects within the Programme will be managed?
No as we were not at the follow up meetings, as above.
