Publish Date : 09-Apr-2018
The NHS Property Services (NHSPS) has appointed a major contractor to deliver the redevelopment of Whitby Hospital for Hambleton, Richmond and Whitby Clinical Commissioning Group.
BAM Construction will be the construction partner for major scheme, following a procurement process via the Governments Pro-Cure 22 healthcare framework.
The Trust announced last week that funds are now secured through the NHSPS to progress its redevelopment plans through to full business case and approval by its governing body.
BAM operates across the UK and its regional office is based in Leeds. It has a strong recent track record in delivering major hospital schemes as well as complex buildings in other sectors. The company not only constructs buildings, it develops, designs and manages facilities in them too.
Experienced health sector designers Medical Architecture will partner BAM to carry out a full detailed technical design to allow the scheme to go to planning. The two companies have worked together on previous healthcare schemes.
NHSPS has also confirmed it can fund construction of the 11.9 million scheme.
Dr George Campbell, local GP and CCG Governing Body member said: After receiving confirmation of the funding from the Department of Health and Social Care via NHS Property Services, were relieved to have reached this milestone in what is a very technical project. Were thrilled that BAM will be working with us.
Whitby Hospital is an essential part of Whitby and the surrounding area and we fully intend on working with our partners to ensure this remains at the heart of the community with modern, sustainable and quality services and facilities.
BAM has recently commenced work on a cardiac hybrid theatre and inter-operative MRI facility for Leeds Childrens Hospital. Last year it handed over a critical care unit and other works to Bradford Royal Infirmary while across the Pennines, it also delivered a suite of new critical care buildings for Aintree Hospital.
