Hospital Review Panel: Review of the New Healthcare Facilities Programme
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? We did attend this meeting on 6th November 2023
• Did you provide feedback about procurement contracts, notice periods and timescales for undertaking works on the Programme? We were not invited to provide feedback as we believe that our services and equipment would not be involved directly in the immediate initial phase of the project as we would be supporting and supplying to those businesses who are to be involved in the initial phase of the project
• If so, have you received any follow-up communications or engagement since this event? We have received no follow-up communications or correspondence since this event and disappointingly, it is our understanding that there have been further meetings held with some companies or communications to specific companies. Although indirectly involved in the initial phase, we had assumed that 4hire would be kept in the loop and receive any follow-up communications. Especially as a local supplier of equipment and services to Jersey's local contractors, who are directly involved, as we have to plan ahead to support such a large project that will involve our customers and we understand the importance of keeping to a specific timescale, delivering this project to the island, it would have made sense to keep everyone informed, whether directly or indirectly involved.
2. 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? No, we have not been made aware of any of these opportunities on the portal which would relate to us directly or indirectly to our local customers that we regularly support or supply equipment or services.
3. Have you engaged directly with the Programme team regarding opportunities to undertake works on projects as part of the Programme? No, we've not been made aware of what stage the initial phase is at and not aware of any publications regarding the project as our customers, the local contractors have not been contacted.
4. Do you feel that you understand how contractors are being procured to undertake works on the Programme? No, as we have not been invited to any meetings held in this regard and no information has been published on this that we have been made aware of.
5. Do you feel that you understand how works on projects within the Programme will be managed? No, as above.
