The deadline for participation requests in the market engagement exercise is 12 noon on 28th March 2025 At this point in the process, potentially interested parties are asked to not approach UHS staff to discuss this potential opportunity. If there are specific clarifications required on the opportunity, please address these through the contact details in this notice. Following this market engagement process: • UHS may decide to embark on a process to procure a JV partner; or • UHS may decide not to commence such a procurement process. UHS asks the market to appreciate that the main reasons for this engagement are to understand market interest, view of the opportunity and potential commercial arrangements that would be acceptable in the market, given the scale and the ambitions of the project outlined in the supporting documents.

Therefore, providing a response will assist with the Trust in developing such terms. UHS also wish to confirm that anything discussed during the market engagement process will not have a bearing on the evaluation of parties during any subsequent process or give any indication of acceptance or commitment to a particular approach.
