The Trust has a requirement to appoint a Mechanical & Electrical Services Engineer for a refurbishment project at their Swandean site.

Salvington Lodge is a mental health inpatient unit on the outskirts of Worthing and operated by Sussex Community Foundation Trust (SCFT) in the building which is owned by Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SPFT).

A redevelopment project is being proposed that will relocate some of the SCFT operations and allow joint occupation between SCFT and SPFT for inpatient and outpatient activities.

The SPFT development will create a Dementia Care centre of excellence, the SCFT development is awaiting final operational review.

The Salvington Lodge building is a two storey construction with four wards in a cross formation built into a sloping landscape.

The downstairs unit has ground level access and the upper unit has ground level access to two wings and the common reception area.

The lower floor area is out of scope but shares services with the upper floor.

The upper floor area has a total floor area of 1,982m2, providing 649m2 for SCPT ward space, 1,589m2 SPFT ward space and 365m2 of shared space (reception, kitchen, storage etc).

The client group is vulnerable and there are stringent requirements for client and staff safety included anti-ligature and security measures.

SPFT are inviting bids from M&E service consultants to join the project team.

A decision regarding the number of projects to take forward will be made once costs are established and bidding consultants should be aware that appointments will be made to RIBA 2 in the first instance.
