Service issues Multiple interface issues identified throughout the project Hard and Soft FM service Hard FM relates to the maintenance of the building (capital asset) Soft FM relates to catering, cleaning, portering etc. Value for money VfM and risk allocation needs to be understood Demolition Old hospital and the transfer to the new hospital Design Bidder needed to design any space required for the hard FM but the Trust dictated the soft FM requirements e.g. the design of the kitchen area. Energy Energy provision the Trust had an on site energy provider 10 Royal Liverpool Hospital Case Study
Discussion topic Considerations of the facilities management provision How can you manage the interface issues between hard and soft FM services if soft FM is being delivered by the public sector? 11 Royal Liverpool Hospital Case Study
Funding competition Closing dialogue and choosing your bidder without a funder. During dialogue Soft market test appetite Issues? Once PB is chosen Stage 1 : DD advisors review documents on behalf of funders Stage 2 : DD review specific elements of bidders submissions as identified by the Trust; Stage 3 : DD advisors novated to PB and full bid reviewed Issues? Stage 4 :DD advisors meet with funders Stage 4 :DD advisors assigned to funders 12 Royal Liverpool Hospital Case Study
Capital contribution of c. 40% Funding competition continued Selecting a funder once the deal has been agreed Outside of dialogue Bank v Bond v Private Placement Shortlist prepared Evaluation Price, deliverability, Flexibility, Issues 13 Royal Liverpool Hospital Case Study
Communication How the Trust interfaced with the bidders On most PPP health projects there is a high level dialogue between the Trust s chief executive and the bidding organisation, and the Trust s and bidder s Project Directors Key issue: Inconsistent messages relayed to bidders due to one-to-one discussions between the bidder and Trust Project Directors Solution: Involve another party, communicate meeting with others, record key message for consistency The overall project team consisted of the following: Design team Technical construction team Facilities management team Commercial team (finance and legal). Open communication and transparency at all levels is a fundamental to success. Working through a third party can help this 14 Royal Liverpool Hospital Case Study
Delay There were several factors that were in and out of the Trusts control Central Government Local resident Dialogue sessions 12 months 6 months Hard to quantify 15 Royal Liverpool Hospital Case Study
Discussion topic Considerations of the impact of delay Consider the means by which you might try and mitigate potential delays to the project; For potential delays that are not within your control, how might you keep bidders motivated? 16 Royal Liverpool Hospital Case Study
The outcome A project that will deliver one of the largest hospitals in the UK Hospital reached financial close in 2014 Construction will take place next to the existing hospital with services transferred once completed to minimise the impact on service delivery Landmark project and building One of the largest hospitals in the UK One of the largest emergency departments in the North West of England One of the most sustainable 'greenest' in the country, with renewable energy systems, low carbon technology, water meters and leak detection systems The Trust s team are now thinking about wider issues/positioning on site to allow for further regeneration in the future 17 Royal Liverpool Hospital Case Study
