Monklands Hospital Replacement Project

NHS Lanarkshire is seeking to procure a design and delivery partner for the Monklands Replacement Project (MRP). This procurement may result in at least 4 contracts with the same contractor, depending on the outcome of the selected contractor’s second stage tender under a two-stage design and build process. These contracts will be: (1) a pre-construction services agreement for design services from the end of RIBA Stage 3, based on the NEC4 Professional Services Contract terms and conditions; (2) an advance works contract based on the NEC4 ECC terms and conditions, for enabling works; (3) a building contract for the main MRP works based on the NEC4 ECC terms and conditions; and (4) a maintenance contract (or contracts) likely to be based on the NEC4 TSC terms and conditions. It is possible that work required to the East Airdrie Link Road could be undertaken by NHS Lanarkshire; if so, this work would also be carried out by the contractor either as part of the works under the building contract for the main MRP works or under a separate contract based on the NEC4 ECC. This award relates to the pre-construction stage services and NHS Lanarkshire will continue to develop the Scope required to build and maintain the new Monklands hospital, culminating in the contractor’s submission of a second stage tender for the main MRP works. The building contract for the main MRP works, and potentially the advance works contract for enabling works, would be awarded only on successful agreement of a target price and approval by the Scottish Government of the Full Business Case, following receipt of the contractor’s second stage tender, with the maintenance contract(s) awarded at a subsequent date when the Scope is fully defined and price agreed.
