GB-Luton: Alterations and Refurbishment To Create New Day Hospital

Alterations and Refurbishment to create a new Day Hospital

The current disused Renal Department on the first floor of the Medical Block is to be repurposed to create a Day Hospital Unit. The area is currently being used to store hospital furniture which will be removed prior to commencing with the project by the hospital. The creation of this new function will assist in bed flow / patient performance on the hospital site.

The scope of works is primarily the refurbishment of the existing patient renal unit and alterations to the existing support function to create patient rooms and new support functions for the new Day Hospital. Scope of works includes for the complete refresh of all areas across the floor plate including new flooring, ceilings and decorations.

Access to the site will be via the first floor corridor, dropping to the ground floor to the rear of the site with a limited compound to the front of the Maternity building for welfare, material storage and waste.

In recent months new ceiling void ventilation units have been installed which will be used for supply and extract to all areas. Heating to supply air is envisaged to be via inline duct electric heaters (6no 3Kw 3 Phase), cooling via ducted chilled water coils from the adjoining Emergency Department first floor plant room.

Adaptions will also be required to the existing heating services to radiators. Hot water will be via concealed (ceiling void or within IPS) point of use water heaters (1kw) at all hot water outlets.

To assist in pricing the scope of works / client requirements includes Provisional Sums for elements of works.

Whilst the site is within the hospital it is isolated and works are unlikely to affect patient services (noise). Access for deliveries of large materials to the site will need to be outside of normal hours (after 19:00/before 08:00) as access in part is via the X-Ray department access corridor. Contractor will be able to work in the site area seven days a week and through the night if required.

The Trust is looking to occupy the space at the earliest opportunity as the space will enhance patient flows / capacity within the hospital.

Contractors returning a tender for the project must attend site to obtain a good understanding of the project and restrictions on site.
