MWD Healthcare To Develop Major Facility At University Hospitals Plymouth
MWD Healthcare has been chosen to develop a major facility at University Hospitals Plymouth in its first NHS ProCure23 win.
The partnership between Mace and Willmott Dixon secured a place earlier this year across all three lots of the healthcare framework.
Work on the new 17,000 m2 purpose-built Urgent and Emergency Care Centre at Derriford is planned to start in 2023. It will replace the current Emergency Department, offering new facilities for the most unwell patients as well as same day emergency care to reduce waiting times, particularly for people who need to be treated but not admitted to hospital.
The facility will include state-of-the art diagnostic equipment to support faster diagnosis, as well as new interventional radiology theatres and surgical theatres to be able to treat patients more quickly and improve patient outcomes.
Neal Stephens, Managing Director for Willmott Dixon in the West Country said: "We're delighted to be chosen for this major project, our first as part of the alliance with Mace for the Procure23 framework. This collaboration gives customers like University Hospitals Plymouth access to some of the best healthcare skills in the industry.
"Also, as a local company with offices in Exeter and Plymouth, we’re very much looking forward to being part of an exciting new chapter for Derriford to support the health needs of Devon, Cornwall and beyond. A major focus for us will be on ensuring our work sustains local jobs and supports SMEs across the region, as well as providing upskilling opportunities."
Terry Spraggett, Managing Director for Mace Construction (Public Sector) said: "We are delighted the partnership we set out on two years ago has now been awarded its first contract. We are excited to show how by working together, we can bring a fresh approach to construction delivery supporting University Hospital Plymouth NHS Trust and wider NHS ambitions."
MWD Healthcare was appointed to all three lots of the NHS ProCure23 (P23) Framework in March this year, marking a significant step forward for collaborative construction in England’s healthcare sector. It sees the two UK contractors work together on NHS construction projects under a FAC-1 Framework Alliance Contract to bid for work across the three value bands identified by the framework: regional projects valued below £20m, projects between £20m to £70m and projects worth more than £70m.
