WINDSOR, ONT. — Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Windsor Regional Hospital (WRH) have issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the Windsor Regional Hospital – The Fancsy Family Hospital Project: Contract 1 Diagnostic and Treatment Block.
Delivered in three phases, the Fancsy Family Hospital project is leading the enabling works projects while IO is overseeing the tendering process for the final two phases in two distinct contracts.
“By dividing the remaining work into two contracts, the project aims to attract strong competition and achieve better value for taxpayers while supporting successful and timely delivery of the hospital,” a release reads.
Contract one consists of the hospital’s diagnostic and treatment block, which is being delivered through IO’s Design-Build-Finance-Maintain model.
The block is currently planned as a five-storey structure that will serve as the primary public entrance to the Fancsy Family Hospital and house a majority of outpatient services and public spaces.
It will include an emergency department with a regional trauma centre and helipad, a regional cancer centre, surgical services, a catheterization lab, women’s and children’s services with maternal newborn, paediatrics and the neonatal intensive care unit, critical care, diagnostic imaging, laboratory and pharmacy services.
Contract two will be procured separately and will include an in-patient tower, currently planned as nine storeys.
The RFQ is the first step in the process to select a team to help deliver contract one. Submissions will be reviewed to shortlist teams with the required design and construction experience. Shortlisted teams will then be invited to respond to a request for proposals, which is expected to be released in fall 2026.
