In plain English
Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust wants a contractor to design and build an upgrade to the helipad at Darent Valley Hospital so it meets the Civil Aviation Authority's helipad design and safety guidance (CAP 1264) and other relevant rules. The exact scope will be confirmed through site surveys and technical assessment, and the budget is around £500,000.
What the buyer wants
• Survey the existing helipad and develop a detailed design that meets CAP 1264 and other statutory and regulatory requirements • Carry out the construction works to upgrade the helipad, including the surfacing, markings, lighting and safety features needed for compliance • Manage the project safely on a live hospital site, including coordinating with NHS staff and meeting the Trust's safety and access rules
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The combination of aviation-specific helipad design experience, a £500,000 design and build scope, and the need to show references for similar CAA-compliant work will likely rule out most small businesses unless they can team up with a specialist aviation design firm.
How to bid
