Variation for construction and operation of a Community Diagnostics Facility

The Trust entered into a contract with Ergéa (previously known as Asteral) in July 2017 for the provision of a Healthcare Facility (the Contract). Ergéa’s service provision includes equipment installation and enabling works (including turnkey works), commissioning, procurement, maintenance and support, replacement, disposal and the provision of radiology consumables. The Trust intends to modify the Contract in accordance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the PCR 2015) to provide a Community Diagnostic Centre at Bridgwater Community Hospital (the CDC). Ergéa will provide a full turnkey solution for the CDC. It will design and construct the building and then deliver an equipment management service at the CDC. The building will be built on the Trust’s existing site and the Trust will retain ownership of the building. The project will be funded by NHS England. Provision of funding is dependent on the CDC being delivered by 31/03/2026.
