Solution — Healthcare Estates & Capital Projects

Structured procurement and capital governance for healthcare estates.

From design team procurement through contractor award, contract administration and capital governance — aligned to CWMF stage gates and healthcare approval requirements. Our anchor pilot.

Capital programme

Multi-year, multi-project delivery

Community healthcare, disability services, mental health and primary care — each with distinct procurement and compliance requirements.

Regulatory environment

CWMF, HIQA and Departmental governance

Healthcare governance, CWMF stage gates, Department thresholds, HIQA implications and procurement law — at the same time.

Section 38/39

Funded-agency support

Healthcare-funded agencies that lack in-house procurement expertise get the structure, documents and compliance trail.

CWMF alignment

Built around the Capital Works Management Framework stage gate process.

GovIQ maps procurement and governance workflows directly to CWMF stage gates — enforcing the correct approvals, documents and procurement steps at each transition.

Use cases

The procurement workflows GovIQ structures for healthcare teams.

Design Team procurement

Architect, engineer, QS and specialist appointments under the CWMF sub-form framework.

  • SAQ and tender document generation
  • MEAT criteria and COI management
  • Appointment and contract records

Contractor procurement

Open and restricted procedure management from tender preparation to award.

  • Threshold, procedure and eTenders publication
  • Evaluation, scoring and consensus
  • Standstill tracking and award routing

Capital approval governance

Stage gate approvals routed to CHO, AND, National Director or Department by value.

  • Delegated authority and nominee management

  • Full approval chain audit record

Disability services capital

HIQA-registered residential and day-service facilities under healthcare capital funding.

  • HIQA registration implication tracking
  • Part M, fire safety, access
  • Healthcare governance pack generation

Contract administration

CWMF variations, employer's claims, EOTs and monthly cost reporting.

  • Variation lifecycle (Anticipated → Determined)
  • 20-day response clock and escalation
  • QS opinion and ER determination

Governance & reporting

Portfolio visibility for CHO management, National Directors and Department reporting.

  • Dashboard by stage, risk and spend
  • Compliance status across projects

Capital procurement

Reduce the procurement delay that delays the project.

The most common delay source in healthcare capital delivery is process fragility — missing approvals, absent decision-makers and document gaps that block the next stage.

  • Delegated authority and nominee fallback per CHO / Directorate
  • Stage gate documents enforced before progression
  • Every approval decision recorded with before/after state
