GB-Kettering: Professional Services - Rockingham Extension

Description

Direct Award against SBS Healthcare Planning, Construction consultancy and Ancillary Services Service Level Agreement SBS10190 Lot 9: Healthcare planning Rockingham Wing at Kettering General Hospital houses the Women's services aspect of the Family Health Division (obstetrics, gynaecology & neonatology). The Trust acknowledges that the current facilities are outdated and not compatible with expectations of service users or staff and they significantly hinder the Trust's ability to deliver modern and progressive models of care. The survey and investigations have shown the whole roof of Rockingham Wing to be constructed of RAAC and there are a significant number of RAAC panels, which are in a critical condition in terms of failure. The first floor has therefore been largely vacated and emergency propping has been carried out. A short Option Appraisal was produced to compare the feasibility, cost and programmes for providing a resolution to the problem, which considers: •A medium term (5-10 years) failsafe propping solution •A newbuild extension to permanently vacate the first floor The proposal is to develop this second option in terms of feasibility and deliverability of a traditional build solution.
