Canadian Providence Health Care in search of developers for St. Paul’s hospital

by Kali Persall

Providence Health Care has issued a request for qualifications (RFQ) inviting private developers to design, build and partially finance a $1.4 billion hospital project in Vancouver, Canada, according to InfraPPP.

The existing St. Paul’s Hospital serves more than 174,000 patients annually, with more than 500,000 visits per year. In 2004, Providence acquired an 18.38-acre parcel of land in 2004 to build a new hospital, as a solution to constraints associated with the current site.

The new St. Paul’s hospital and health campus will offer general and specialized care, including HIV/AIDS, chronic disease management services, emergency and critical care, mental health and addictions beds and programs, ambulatory services and outpatient clinics, end-of-life care, Indigenous health, maternity, colorectal and gastrointestinal services, and community care and community outreach programs. It will also house several leading provincial programs and referral centers for heart and lung care, renal, eating disorders, specialty surgeries and transplants.

The building has the capacity for up to 548 beds.

Future developments include a clinical and research center and a health innovation park with experts in the fields of health-care technology, life sciences and biomedical research.

Following the RFQ, three teams will be shortlisted for the next stage in the contract process.

From there, bidders will be issued with request for proposal (RFP) document, and Providence will then decide who will lead the design and construction of the project.

The RFQ phase is expected to be finalized by fall 2019, and the RFP phase will likely last up to a year. Construction will begin after that.

The deadline for RFQ submission is Aug. 16.
