The brief

The Council currently operates its intermediary care provision across 3 centres but there is a need to move the provision to a fit for purpose, single site care provision to ensure that the needs of the population are met now and for future years to come.

The fundamental considerations for the location of a single site centre were both its proximity to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead and having good transport links for family and carers to get to, to visit loved ones.

Therefore, the location requirement was for the new intermediary care centre to be located within a 1-mile radius of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

The delivery of a timely development is required to enable the existing intermediate care provision to transfer to a fit for purpose development, which will deliver essential savings.

It was a requirement for the new centre to be within very close proximity to a primary school to enable an essential intergenerational activity programme that is currently ran within an existing intermediate care centre to continue at the new centre.

The Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication has been followed and was justified under Regulation 32 (2) (b) (iii) for the award of a public works contracts for development of an intermediate care centre at Gretna Terrace, Gateshead NE10 0BS.

The development site meets the Council's fundamental location requirements being within the 1-mile radius of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead with good transport links.

The Works could only be supplied by a particular economic operator due to their exclusive rights as landowner of the development site.

A timely delivery of the development can be met because the site is cleared, has planning permission in place and will be delivered on a turn-key basis.

There were no reasonable alternative or substitute development sites within the desired location that could meet the delivery timescales.
