“Our work with our construction partners is therefore of great importance, so selecting a partner that fully understands our needs and supports our approach is vitally important.”

BAM also said that it has started on site for its first scheme, a Cath Lab facility which includes extending the Trust’s cardiology ward capacity with extensions to two existing wards. The work is expected to be completed by this September.

BAM construction director Graham Kingdon said: “Despite being one of the world’s most modern construction groups, our pedigree in healthcare goes back over a century, and our understanding of this vital sector is extremely strong. Our philosophy has always been the same: you cannot succeed alone.

“No matter how much modern technology one uses, it is collaborative working with all the partners that allows you to listen properly to a complex and sensitive client like a hospital, and translate that across the designers and supply chain down to the last detail so that you deliver exactly what is needed.”

Other partners of the Trust include Stretto, architects Stride Treglown, Avanti & BDP, WSP, Hoare Lea, Hulley& Kirkwood and QED.

MEPH contractors engaged to date are: T Clarke and Briggs & Forester.
