Laing Hyder wins £25m scheme


by Tim Wood



Laing Hyder has beaten off competition from two other consortia to become preferred bidder for the £25 million scheme to develop Newham General Hospital in East London.

Laing will concentrate on achieving financial close with Newham Healthcare Trust as soon as possible. Contractor Laing Limited has been chosen to redevelop Newham General Hospital to provide a modern and centralised facility.

Laing Hyder, which has also secured a major PFI school in Enfield, will be responsible for operational and support services at the hospital and the initial concession period will be for 35 years.

The company, formed a year ago, will also work with ISS Mediclean who will provide many of the facilities management services.
