Contract and Performance Manager

The Trust has two major Estates and Facilities management contracts which are critical to the delivery of support services to CHFT. The post includes the effective and efficient management of the Contract Partners involved in the delivery of these services. The contracts include a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract at Calderdale Royal Hospital (CRH), and a contract operated with the Trust’s Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS), Calderdale and Huddersfield Solutions Ltd (CHS) at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary (HRI) and other community properties.

The post holder has the lead role in the management of these contracts ensuring the obligations of the contract partners are always delivered in full to ensure the Trust’s commitment to patient care and the hospital environment is met. The post holder will be responsible for providing good commercial and financial governance of these arrangements, promoting a culture of continuous improvement to provide better value for money for the Trust, and managing and implementing change. The post holder will always ensure that the arrangements are fit for purpose and will be the conduit between the Trust’s operational Departments and Divisions and the Contract Partners.

The Trust is currently implementing a reconfiguration of its service provision that includes significant changes to its estate and its contracted services. The post holder has a lead role in supporting the reconfiguration activities and working with the Contract Partners to adapt their service provisions. These activities will include the exit of current PFI Partners and transition of services to CHS, and the hand back of assets and the close out of current PFI contract arrangements. At all times the post holder will ensure that these activities comply with the requirements of Infrastructure & Projects Authority (IPA).

We employ more than 6,500 staff who deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals, Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary as well as in community sites, health centres and in patients’ homes. We also are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers here at CHFT.

We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children’s and young people’s services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.

We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.

We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS – yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.

Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
