Key Milestones 2001/02
Following the Secretary of State’s approval to the Trust’s Outline
Business Case in May 2000, the procurement process for the new
hospital development is now well underway.
Scheme content, progress during 2000/01 and key milestones to
be achieved within the year 2001/02 are outlined below:
The Scheme includes:
● A new Children’s Hospital.
● New adult medical facilities, replacing the current medical
corridor facility.
● Reprovision of St. Mary’s Hospital and the tower block in
new purpose-built accommodation.
● New Eye Hospital facilities to replace the Royal Eye Hospital
main buildings and out-patients department.
An undertaking of this size requires a huge amount of
preparatory work. Over the last 18 months, the clinical
specification for the new hospital has now been developed.
This has been prepared by the Private Finance Initiative (PFI)
Project Office in close consultation with clinicians and other
healthcare professionals. The clinical specification sets out the
requirements for the new hospital on a department by
department basis and has been used within the Project to
develop an outline design which will be used by the private
sector to prepare their detailed design proposals.
Progress 2000/01
● Issue of FITN documentation to the selected shortlist (3
bidders), completed on 30th April 2001.
● Continued development of the medical briefing packs to reflect:
- re-configuration of Adult Services – includes growth
and impact of the National Beds Enquiry.
- finalisation of the enabling schemes business case –
required in order to bring the Children’s development
forward to 2005.
- service developments.
● Evaluation of FITN responses, which will look to the
identification of a preferred bidder.
● Following the identification of a preferred bidder, a process
of negotiation with the selected preferred partner (January
2001 – June 2002)
