Three set to fight for œ45m project
Three consortia have been shortlisted for a œ45 million
Private Finance Initiative healthcare project to redevelop
Pinderfield Hospital at Wakefield, Yorkshire.
The consortia are: The Hospital Company - Tarmac, United Medical
Enterprises, Tarmac ServiceMaster; The Atcare Consortium - WS
Atkins, Norweb, Gardiner Merchant, KPMG, DAC; The Health Management
Group - Amec, Building and Property Facilities Management.
The project involves the redevelopment of the whole Pinderfield
Hospital site, centralising hospital services from three sites onto
one. The scheme may involve a phased demolition and complete
rebuilding or a combination of new build and refurbishment.
A total of 56.5ha of land is involved in the scheme. At least half
of this could be freed up and will probably be available for
redevelopment as part of the financial package needed to fund the
project.
