A £10.5 million project for two NHS Trusts comprising  the  reprovision of healthcare facilities at Ulverston Hospital and improvements to Furness General Hospital in Barrow-in-Furness.



The project for two NHS clients, on two separate sites comprised 13 individual phases carried out to an extremely tight programme. Contractor selection was made by two-stage tender sought on a partially designed scheme with design continuing during on-site construction. The programme was further tightened by the client’s need to change the occupancy and use of two departments immediately following receipt of second stage tenders.

​

On the Furness General Hospital site the project  included a 24 Bed Rehabilitation Ward, Endoscopy/Urodynamics Unit, 20 Bed Assessment Ward, 36 Bed Daycase Ward, 20 Bed Maternity Ward,  20 Bed Gynaecology Ward, 26 Bed Paediatric Ward a Paediatric Out Patients department, Gynaecology / Antenatal Clinic, and an overnight stay accommodation for 12 Junior Doctors. Details of the Ulverston site development are provided above.

​

Both hospital sites remained fully operational throughout construction and the project was completed on time and within budget.
