In plain English

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust wants to appoint a consultant partner to help plan its buildings and land over the long term, worth about £7 million. The first job is a masterplan, planning document and vision for the Southend site, with other estate work added as needed.

What the buyer wants

• Multidisciplinary strategic estates advice covering masterplanning, planning applications (Development Control Plan work), demand and capacity modelling (forecasting how many beds, rooms or services are needed), options appraisal (comparing possible approaches), and funding and commercial strategy. • Preparation of HM Treasury Five Case business cases, which is the standard UK government format for justifying public investment. • Initial delivery of the Southend site Masterplan, Development Control Plan and Vision, followed by further estate services as the Trust commissions them.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice does not set out explicit eligibility criteria, but the £7 million value and the need for several specialist disciplines (planning, modelling, business case and funding) would most likely rule out a small business working alone, so it would probably need to bid as part of a larger team.
