Jarvis regroups for NHS LIFT


Jarvis will bid for the fourth wave of NHS LIFT contracts, despite failing to win any in the first three waves.
A senior source at the company told CJ: "We are still committed to the healthcare market. We are preferred bidder on two independent sector diagnostic and treatment centre (ISDTC) contracts and we will be bidding for work in the fourth wave of NHS LIFT contracts.
"However, our approach will be different in terms of the people that will manage it and the model, which will include a complete supply chain - something we did not use in the previous NHS LIFT bids."
Jarvis Primary Health, a joint venture between Jarvis and Sinclair Montrose subsidiary Healthcare Property Company, was shortlisted for 10 NHS LIFT contracts, but failed to win any of them.
In its trading statement last week Jarvis said it was "withdrawing" from the jv.
Jarvis could bid for the fourth wave of NHS LIFT as part of the Interhealth Care Services consortium, which includes Interhealth Canada.
