Three attracted to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital scheme


The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital's œ30 million Private Finance Initiative scheme in Shropshire has attracted a shortlist of three consortia.

The line-up includes a team led by Clugston Construction, a Kvaerner/Kings Sturge team and one team without a contractor called Bute Healthcare, which comprises Gardiner Merchant, Bonvilsgon, RKW, Capita and Donaldson.

The scheme involves a œ15 million project to centralise services from two outdated sites - the Victorian ear Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital and the Copthorne South Hospital, which is largely housed in old army huts.

The services will be accommodated into a new building on a site at Mytton Oak Road. Some œ15 million worth of maintenance work is also included in the contract.

A spokewoman for the hospital said that the timetable for the project had not yet been worked out, but expected it to be finalised over the next week or two.
