Service Wing Demolition (RAAC)

This tender is for the partial demolition of a Service Wing at Hinchingbrooke Hospital that includes Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) panels. The winning bidder will take ownership from RIBA stage 4 through to completion of work. Initial works will include the validation of the RIBA3 designs to an agreed RIBA4 design. The works include the refurbishment of existing facilities to accommodate staff movement. Following the refurbishment the building will require demolition in accordance with the Trust phasing plan provided in the tender pack. A final element of the works will involve the construction of a new road to connect current roads. All of the above works will take place in a live hospital environment. This work sits within the enabling works for the Hinchingbrooke Hospital new build so it is vital that the programme dates are achieved as planned to avoid any delays to construction of the main build. This is part of the NHS England New Hospitals Programme (NHP) so there will be a delay of 5 weeks between notification of outcome to bidders and commencement of contract due to sign off of the business case by NHP.
