Programme. The ‘Hospital of Tomorrow’ Programme is an improvement
programme covering infrastructure, technology and service delivery. It is
envisaged that these programmes will deliver a modernisation agenda across
the entire hospital estate, realising benefits in excess of £48m. The
Trust wishes to procure a cost effective Zero Waste Solution that; is able
to meet its waste management needs now and into the future, eliminates
waste to landfill, makes a significant contribution to reducing the
Trust’s carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions, and recovers value from
waste. The solution must be capable of operating effectively and reliably
in the demanding operational environment of an NHS Trust. The Trust is
interested in exploring innovative technical, commercial and financial
arrangements with potential suppliers for example to spread the costs of
capital investment and facilitate take-up. The solution is required if

2013. The Trust wishes to understand what the market can deliver and it’s

This notice is to advise potential suppliers of the forthcoming
procurement and initiate a market sounding exercise. The market sounding
exercise provides a vehicle to inform the supply chain about the Trusts
requirements, stimulate innovative solutions and pull together the
necessary technical and market information to enable the Trust to develop
an effective procurement strategy. It also provides a framework to enable
the supply chain to inform and shape the procurement strategy, design and
specifications for these products/services for deployment at the Rotherham
NHS Foundation Trusts, and also other NHS Trusts. The Trust and its
partners recognise that the products that meet the requirements (as set
out in the Prospectus) may still be in development and/or not currently
commercially available. For this reason we have adopted the Forward

Governments Sustainable Procurement Action Plan, to accelerate the market

the requirement and context for this exercise and a Response Form, these
