Laing O’Rourke has signed the contract for the redevelopment of Hillingdon Hospital in west London to deliver a new, state of the art hospital for patients and NHS staff.
This marks a significant milestone in the UK Government’s New Hospital Programme (NHP), one of the most ambitious healthcare infrastructure programmes in the UK, designed to transform how hospitals are planned, designed and delivered through close collaboration with NHS England, NHS Trusts, and the wider supply chain.
The next generation facility will be constructed on the current hospital site’s western edge and will provide new beds, enhanced working environments and supporting improved clinical outcomes.
Laing O’Rourke brings a strong track record in delivering complex healthcare infrastructure across the UK and will apply its expertise in digital engineering, offsite manufacturing and its integrated supply chain to support the programme’s objectives.
Peter Lyons, Managing Director, Laing O’Rourke, said:
“We’re excited to start work on the Hillingdon Hospital redevelopment, using the power of our experience in delivering world-class health facilities across the UK.
“We will use our pioneering construction methods combining digital engineering and offsite manufacturing to deliver this state-of-the-art facility that meets the needs of patients, clinicians and the wider community.”
Lesley Watts, Chief Executive of The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “The appointment of Laing O’Rourke marks an important step forward in our journey to deliver a new hospital for our patients, staff and local communities.
“We are looking forward to working with Laing O’Rourke to create modern, purpose-built facilities that support outstanding care, embrace the latest technology and provide a better experience for everyone who uses our services.
“The new hospital will help us work more effectively, support closer collaboration between teams and ensure we can continue meeting the healthcare needs of our communities for decades to come.”
