Procurement

| Successful Tenderer: | Multiplex Constructions - Stage One Managing Contractor |
| Procurement note: | The project was initially procured as a part of the Queensland Government's Capacity Expansion Project (CEP). CEP projects were procured using a Pre-Qualified Panel model. Under the model, interested parties submitted EOIs outlining the list of projects or ‘bundles of projects’ they wished to participate in. Contractors successfully appointed to the panel were then selected to participate in a Request for Tenders phase for particular projects, or packages of projects. The project is intended to be delivered under a two-stage Managing Contractor model, with Stage One including design works and Stage Two including a separate main works delivery contract. Following an independent review of the CEP, and subsequent release of the Government's updated program the Hospital Rescue Plan, the project was subject to further planning and redesign. |

PROJECT HISTORY
| Jun 2022 | The project was confirmed as having been funded through the Capacity Expansion Program. |
| Oct 2022 | Expressions of Interest to join a prequalified panel to deliver Capacity Expansion Program projects was released. |
| Jun 2023 | The Queensland Government awarded Multiplex Constructions the Stage One Managing Contractor contract to deliver the $1.3 billion New Coomera Hospital. |
| Oct 2023 | Turner & Townsend was awarded the Cost Management contract for the project. |
| Apr 2025 | The Queensland Government released its Hospital Rescue Plan and response to the 42 recommendations made by the Independent Review of Queensland Health’s Capacity Expansion Program. The Review recommended pausing delivery of the New Coomera Hospital and rescoping it by reviewing the planned approach to supplement capacity at the Robina Hospital. The Government has accepted the recommendation and has committed to delivering 600 beds at the Coomera Hospital – rather than 400 beds at Coomera supplemented by 200 leased beds at Robina Hospital. The Review also confirmed the project's total estimated cost, as originally scoped, has increased from $1.3 billion to $2.3 billion, however, this is subject to change through the re-planning process. |
| Dec 2025 | The Queensland Government announced an updated masterplan was finalised for the project as part of the Hospital Resuce Plan. Construction is expected to commence in late 2026, with 400 beds expected to be completed in 2031. The updated masterplan also confirms a staged approach to hospital deliver, with an additional 200 beds to be delivered after 2032. |
