The Ministry of Health and Windsor Regional Hospital are on the lookout for construction teams for the new hospital project.
A Request for Qualifications has been released to prequalify teams that will compete to design, build, finance, and maintain the second phase of the Fancsy Family Hospital Project.
This next phase will be called the diagnostic and treatment block. It’s planned as a five-storey building that will include emergency and trauma services, cancer care, surgical services, women’s and children’s health services, critical care, Indigenous services, spiritual care, and advanced diagnostics.
“This is an incredibly exciting moment – one that we have been working toward since planning for this project began,” said Karen Riddell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Windsor Regional Hospital. “Issuing this RFQ for a team to design and build the Diagnostic and Treatment Block is a critical step toward opening the doors of our new acute care hospital and transforming the delivery of hospital services for patients and families across Windsor-Essex.”
Phase 1 of the project is expected to kick off in mid-2026. It will include a three-storey education and administrative centre along with a parking garage and necessary on-site infrastructure.
Phase 3 will involve constructing an inpatient tower where most inpatient beds will be located. This part is currently planned as a nine-storey building.
“Infrastructure Ontario is proud to partner with Windsor Regional Hospital to deliver the Fancsy Family Hospital for the Windsor-Essex region. Based on industry feedback and current market conditions, a procurement strategy with a phased approach has been identified. This approach reflects how many major infrastructure projects are being delivered in today’s market to encourage broader competition and deliver value for the taxpayers of Ontario. Dividing the work into separate contracts will encourage more competition and help support the successful and timely delivery of this important hospital project,” said Angela Clayton, CEO, Infrastructure Ontario.
Submissions from the RFQ will be evaluated to create a shortlist of teams with relevant construction experience. These shortlisted teams will then be invited to respond to a Request for Proposals, which should be later this year.
