Nuffield Health has appointed Kier to deliver a £36m redevelopment of the former pathology and residential staff quarters at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London.
The not-for-profit healthcare organisation aims to transform two disused buildings into a new cardiac unit.
The 48-bed facility will house four operating theatres as well as 28 consultation rooms. It will also provide a space for physiotherapy, health assessments and a range of diagnostic services.
Construction is due to begin on site next month, with the new hospital opening in 2021 and will be known as Nuffield Health at St Bartholomew’s Hospital.
Cliff Thomas, managing director of Kier Construction London, said: “The UK healthcare sector has seen its biggest increase in activity for two years, and Kier is currently working on over £400m of healthcare projects in London and the South East alone.
“We’ve recently finished work on the UK’s first dedicated centre for cancer immunology research at Southampton General Hospital and are working to successful completion of the new emergency department and assessment unit at Wexham Park Hospital.”
The award adds to Kier’s leading presence in the healthcare sector. Earlier this year, Kier also won a place on the £500m Private Investment Construction (PIC) framework to deliver privately funded projects for the NHS and private healthcare operators.
