## Description
Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust (“the Trust”) is seeking to procure a provider for the provision of equipping consultancy services in connection with the New Frimley Park Hospital programme (Ref C476248).

The scope includes, but is not limited to, the development of the Equipping Strategy and Equipment Governance Framework, aligned to New Hospital Programme and Hospital 2.0 guidance. It also covers equipment categorisation (Group 1, 2 and 3) in line with the NHP categorisation strategy, and the development and management of the Master Equipment Schedule and departmental equipment schedules.

The scope further includes Room Data Sheet validation, design integration and technical assurance, including BIM alignment, together with medical equipment and digital integration covering interoperability, asset tracking and digital asset requirements. The provider will deliver equipment cost planning, including capital, lifecycle and procurement assumptions and inputs to the Outline Business Case. It will also develop the equipment procurement strategy, logistics, commissioning and operational readiness planning, and manage the Equipping Risk Register. An optional asset audit of existing equipment may be instructed by the Trust.
The appointed provider will be expected to deliver robust, evidence-led equipping outputs that are fully integrated with the developing design. They will work as part of an integrated professional team and co-ordinate with the wider design, cost and programme workstreams. The Trust places a strong emphasis on clinical engagement, data accuracy and change control, value for money and sustainability.
