In relation to the potential Primary Care Centres to be delivered under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) Programme, the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) published a Prior Information Notice (PIN) on Friday 15th November 2013 in the Official Journal of the European Union ("OJEU") through the eTenders Public Procurement portal which can be viewed on the www.etenders.gov.ie website.
Of the 35 primary care centre locations announced under the Infrastructure Stimulus Package in July 2012, 16 locations have been identified as being suitable for the PPP model. The 16 locations are as follows:
|
HSE West |
HSE South |
HSE Dublin Mid Leinster |
HSE Dublin North East |

Ballymote |
Dungarvan |
Kilcock |
Coolock/Darndale |
|

The 16 locations are being developed by the HSE to be brought to a preliminary design and statutory planning process. It is expected that 10-14 sites (indicative number 12 based on affordability) from the above list will be delivered as part of a single PPP contract with the remaining centres to be procured by the HSE using other procurement means.
