The Department of Health and Social Care, working with the newly-formed National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority, has launched a preliminary market engagement process covering plans to deliver primary and community healthcare buildings under long-term PPP contracts.<\/p>\n
DHSC stressed that all proposals remain at the early scoping stage, with no final decisions yet on delivery models or procurement timelines.<\/p>\n
An indicative capital value of \u00a31bn has been published, but this could shift based on feedback from the market.<\/p>\n
The 30-year programme, flagged in the government\u2019s latest 10-Year Infrastructure Document, is expected to cover design, build, finance, operation, and maintenance of new health facilities \u2013 but not the delivery of clinical services.<\/p>\n
Interested parties across the construction supply chain have until 3pm on Friday 11 July to register for initial engagement events, which will include Q&As and presentations. The full engagement exercise is expected to run until 22 August.<\/p>\n
If Government proceeds with the PPP plan, tender documents could be released next summer, with project delivery beginning from mid-2027 and running through to 2057.<\/p>\n
Small businesses and social enterprises are being encouraged to get involved early, with DHSC stating the process is open to all persons who are interested in participating.<\/p>\n
