“Case Study Scenario This project concerns a major programme of extensions, alterations and refurbishment to a large general hospital. Specifically, the works include: Construction of a new operating theatre suite adjacent to the existing theatres. This will require the demolition of the existing boiler house and existing central boiler plant. Refurbishment of the existing operating theatres, including replacement of the existing mechanical services installations. Provision of a new detached boiler house and the installation of a new central boiler installation on a site adjacent to the main hospital buildings, together with external service mains to serve the existing hot water and steam heating installations. Major alterations, extensions and refurbishment of the existing accident and emergency suite. Alterations and refurbishment of the main entrance, reception and outpatient waiting area to incorporate a shop and coffee bar. Realignment of the main entrance drive, and the construction of a large area of new surface car park. The hospital already has a master plan for development of the site which was prepared by a consultant architect some years ago, and the work is to be carried out generally in accordance with this, although the plan does need some minor updating to take account of current legislation. The employer has secured funding for the scheme from a combination of government, charitable donations and private sector finance, and it is a condition of the funding package that the works be carried out in phases over a maximum period of four years from the start of design. At this point in time, the employer thinks that he would like to appoint a single contractor to carry out the whole of the works, supported if necessary by appropriate consultants. Whilst the employer has some ideas regarding phasing of the work, final details will be decided in consultation with the chosen construction team. Prepare a draft report to the client advising on a suitable procurement strategy for the project in the Case Study (Paper 0762). Include in your report the following: a. your reasoned assumptions as the clients requirement for this project; b. a selection matrix to support a choice of procurement option for the project. Marks will be awarded for: critical analysis of the selection criteria appropriate to this project; (10 marks) explanation as to how you have arrived at the priority weightings and utility scores assigned to each procurement option in relation to this project; (10 marks) quality of reasoning when making your recommendation. (5 marks)”

The following report considers the available strategies for procuring the work that has

been outlined in the preceding scenario. The adopted strategy will be the best suited in

meeting the Clients needs and achieving the project objectives. In selecting the

appropriate strategy an assessment of the clients requirements will be considered in

conjunction with a suggested rationale of phasing.

Relative public sector procurement regulations will need to be adhered to, which

ensures appropriate levels of competition and compliance with the restrictions of the EU

procurement directive….(short extract)
