£300m Peterborough PFI
winners announced
01 March 2005
Nightingale Associates is the architect within the Progress Health Multiplex consortium, selected to build Peterborough's new £300 million integrated care centre, mental health unit and hospital.
The announcement was made by the Greater Peterborough Health Investment Plan project team and is a major step forward in the modernisation of local healthcare facilities which will bring many benefits to people living in Peterborough and the surrounding towns and villages. Work will commence on the development later this year.
“We are absolutely delighted that Progress Health has been selected to work with the three local NHS trusts to provide us with our new health service facilities. I have been involved with a number of similar schemes and the quality of work provided by Progress Health throughout the bidding process has been outstanding. I have no doubt that we have established a relationship with the consortia and a standard of design that will ensure that together we deliver a first class service to our patients.”
Clair Armitage, Project Director
The Greater Peterborough Health Investment Plan is a partnership between Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust, the Greater Peterborough Primary Care Partnership and the Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The new integrated care centre, to be built on the site of Fenland Wing at Peterborough District Hospital, will include 40 specialist rehabilitation beds, a diagnostic and treatment centre providing outpatients and diagnostic services, and a children’s care centre.
The new mental health unit - to be built on the Edith Cavell Hospital site - will provide a 50 bed adult acute unit, a psychiatric intensive care unit and garden areas. Facilities at the new acute hospital, also to be built on the Edith Cavell Hospital site, will include 762 inpatient beds, an emergency care centre, a cancer unit and a multi-disciplinary education and training centre.
The integrated care centre and mental health unit are due to be completed in 2007/2008, whilst the acute hospital will open in 2010.
“The Progress Health team has worked closely with the trusts to develop an innovative design solution that will produce healthcare facilities that the community can be proud of. We also believe our proposals will enable the trusts to deliver the very best healthcare in the future by providing optimum clinical functionality within a welcoming environment.”
Pat Cannon, Director of Multiplex Infrastructure
