Facilities Management Services – Pre-Market Engagement

Great Western NHS Foundation Trust (the “Trust) opened its acute Private Finance Initiative (PFI) facility in 2002. The six-storey building provides 78,101 square meters of internal space and supports 650 beds.
The hospital includes a full range of acute services, including an Accident and Emergency department, Acute Assessment Unit, Intensive Care / High Dependency Unit, Maternity and Intermediate Care Centre. The site also incorporates a health and social care education centre (the “Academy”), alongside a wide range of wards and clinics, serving a population of around 300,000 people.
The PFI contract is due to expire in October 2029 and covers approximately 90% of the Trust’s estate on the Swindon site.
The majority of the facilities management (FM) services for the PFI estate (excluding car parking, linen and transport which are a directly delivered service by the Trust) are currently provided under the PFI contract. FM services to the retained estate (non-PFI) estate are outsourced separately.
However, many of the same service providers deliver FM services across both the PFI and non-PFI estate.
The Trust is currently considering a range of future FM service delivery models across the Swindon site and is seeking to engage with the market to understand the industry perspective. This engagement will help inform the Trust’s approach to its future service delivery strategy.
The FM services currently included within the assessment are:
1. Estates maintenance service, including planned, reactive, small work’s, project works etc.
2. Grounds maintenance service
3. Energy and utilities management service
4. Helpdesk service and CAFM system
5. Cleaning service
6. Catering (patient and retail) service
7. Portering service
8. Security service
9. Pest control service
10. Waste management and disposal service

12. Tenancy and residential property management service
