Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service (GCHHS) is seeking innovative solutions for the delayed discharge of older patients who no longer require active medical care but cannot access timely residential aged care. The solutions should address medium to long-term needs, potentially including infrastructure provision or service delivery. GCHHS estimates a need for over 200 beds by 2028. This is an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to gauge market capability and inform future procurement. Submissions are due by June 29, 2026. A market briefing will be held online on June 1, 2026. The EOI is non-binding and will not result in a contract award.
The closing date for submissions is Monday, 29 June 2026, at 5:00 pm.
Submissions will be evaluated against criteria including capability and experience, capacity of the solution, timeframe for delivery, duration, key commercial terms, accreditation/licensing, and risks/constraints. For proposals including service delivery, criteria also cover service delivery model, patient flow, changing clinical needs, and workforce.
Organisations must be suitably qualified and demonstrate relevant experience and capability in delivering similar infrastructure and/or services, including scale and complexity, and evidence of delivering safe, high-quality outcomes.
If a supplier considers they have been unreasonably or unfairly treated and cannot resolve the issue with the contact officer, they may request a review of the process by contacting Nicole Franzel at ***@***. *. * with the subject GCHHS **** Request for Review of Process.
The customer may disqualify a supplier if it believes the supplier has breached any warranty, including those related to anti-competitive conduct, conflict of interest, criminal organisation involvement, or accuracy of information.
