Steel sourcing strategy - New Melton Hospital Project
Tender Overview
About this tender
1. Introduction Exemplar Health is committed to maximising opportunities for the use of locally milled and locally fabricated processed steel. To provide the local steel industry with visibility of project opportunities, Exemplar Health will utilise the Project’s ICN Gateway. 2. Procurement Approach All steel for the project will be procured indirectly through supply and install subcontractors. Exemplar Health will include requirements for the maximisation of local steel within works package tender requirements. 3. Periodic Review This Steel Sourcing Strategy will be updated annually. As design is preliminary, and we will be tendering works packages that contain steel in the second half of 2025, an interim update will be provided late Q2 2025. In this interim revision, information for the works packages to be released to market will be updated
