GRAHAM Construction has been selected to develop two new health facilities for NHS Grampian within its Foresterhill Health Campus in Aberdeen.

The £134m capital scheme will be the largest project to be procured through Frameworks Scotland 2, to date.

The new Baird Family Hospital will bring together all services at the existing Aberdeen Maternity Hospital and breast and gynaecology services from Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI). The new ANCHOR Centre will include day-patient and out-patient oncology and haematology services relocating from ARI.

Today (Thursday Dec 1) senior staff from GRAHAM Construction and members of NHS Grampian project team met for a launch event on the Foresterhill Health Campus to officially announce GRAHAM’s appointment.

Jackie Bremner, NHS Grampian Project Director for the project, said: “This is a very exciting milestone in the development of these important new developments on the Foresterhill Health Campus. We look forward to working with our partners at GRAHAM Construction to create high quality modern facilities that will help enable us to deliver quality care designed for the future for the people of the North East, North of Scotland and the Northern Isles.”

Gary Holmes, Regional Director for GRAHAM Construction, said: “We are privileged to be working with NHS Grampian and its stakeholders in the development of the Foresterhill Health Campus and in equipping it to offer the highest quality of care to the region for years to come.”

Construction work will commence in mid-2018, with completion of these new facilities in 2020.
