Bristol ProCure21 contract

Off-site construction specialist and Portakabin subsidiary Yorkon has won a £1.5 m healthcare building contract at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol.

The project was awarded by contractors Laing O’Rourke under the NHS ProCure21 Framework and will provide a purpose-designed modular building to accommodate two cardiac catheterisation laboratories fitted out with highly specialised X-ray technology for the diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions, and a patient recovery suite.

The scheme forms part of Laing O’Rourke’s £32 m construction contract and role as Principal Supply Chain Partner to North Bristol NHS Trust. The new cardiac facility will be manufactured off site in York. This approach reduces programme times by up to 50%, ensures delivery on time and on budget, minimises disruption to the running of the hospital, and is a highly sustainable method of construction.
