Galliford Try wins contract in GBP150m hospital redevelopment

Galliford Try has been appointed to support the £150m site-wide redevelopment of Luton and Dunstable University Hospital.

The FTSE 250 company announced on Thursday has been appointed preferred supply chain partner under the ProCure21+ framework.

The housebuilding and construction group said the main programme, which will be completed in 2019 includes a new £80m block for all critical care, surgery and other complex care procedures.

It also includes replacing several wards and the site's energy centre and completely refurbishing the emergency department.

Work will also begin immediately to deliver a new £6m office block to enable delivery of the main works.

Chief executive Peter Truscott said the scheme is prestigious and one of the largest in the ProCure21+ framework.

“Galliford Try has a growing presence in the healthcare market and this is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate our capability in delivering complex public sector healthcare projects."
