HC Deb 08 September 2003 vol 410 cc223-5W
Tim Loughton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health which foreign companies have submitted bids to(a) build, (b) staff and (c) run new hospital establishments; and which health trusts (i) have invited bids and (ii) plan to invite bids in the next year. [127917]

Mr. Hutton

No information is held centrally regarding the country in which bidders on new hospital establishments are either registered or owned.

Procurement for standard hospital buildings/facilities can be broken up into two categories: Private Finance Initiative (PFI), including PFI build and PFI Diagnosis and Treatment Centres (DTCs) and publicly funded, comprising the DTC programme and ProCure21 Initiative (ProCure21). Under ProCure21, the capital spend of £1.2 billion per year will be divided between a group of pre-tendered Principal Supply Chain Partners.

Under the PFI, procurement timetables are held centrally only for major prioritised schemes (capital value over £20 million).
