NHP Programme Delivery Partner

Description

The New Hospital Programme was created to deliver the biggest hospital building programme in a generation. The Conservative Manifesto in 2019 included a commitment that '[w]e will build and fund 40 new hospitals over the next 10 years' and in October 2020, Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister at the time, announced a commitment to build 48 hospitals by 2030 (comprising 8 pre-existing schemes and 40 new hospitals). In May 2023 the government confirmed their commitment to deliver 40 new hospitals, and to establish the capability and capacity to deliver a longer-term pipeline of hospitals beyond 2030/31. This procurement is for the long-term Programme Delivery Partner (PDP) for the New Hospitals Programme. NHSE wishes to appoint a PDP to be the long-term partner to the programme. NHSE is seeking expressions of interest from suitably experienced organisations with the capability of delivering a high profile and important professional services contract. The successful Tenderer ("Consultant") will provide expertise in scheme design, programme and project management and commercial expertise to allow NHP to develop a more standardised approach to design and delivery, increase participation from suppliers in the health infrastructure market, and unlock efficiencies and accelerate delivery to allow NHSE to meet the Government's commitment to deliver the biggest hospital building programme in a generation. NHP's ambition is to transform operations across digital, clinical, and workforce workstreams, to identify requirements and translate these into national standards and policies, thereby improving benefits for patients and staff. The PDP interfaces with and supports transformation workstreams, for example supporting the transfer of learning from more advanced Trusts to later ones. The PDP will work with NHSE and NHS Trusts to ensure that the programmatic benefits are increasingly embedded in hospital design and delivery as these benefits are developed. The procurement to be conducted by NHSE, the scope of services and contractual requirements are more particularly described in the Selection Questionnaire Pack (SQP) and accompanying procurement documents.
