Bids wanted for Stoke's £250m PFI hospital deal


Contractors and their partners are being invited to check in for a £250m private finance hospital deal in Stoke on Trent.

The project, for North Staffordshire Hospitals NHS Trust, involves constructing a major teaching hospital on the City General Hospital site and includes refurbishment and demolition work.

The Trust plans to shortlist four groups in November to pitch for the scheme.

A spokeswoman for the client said it intends to go to two consortia for best and final offers before a preferred bidder emerges in summer 2003.

A start on site will be made a year later and the operation and maintenance concession is likely to run for 25 years.
