Kier has been appointed to deliver a three-year programme of Birmingham hospital upgrades, covering works at Good Hope Hospital, Heartlands Hospital, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and Solihull Hospital<\/h2>\n

The University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Trust (UHB) has chosen Kier to deliver a three-year programme of hospital upgrades<\/a>, procured through the P23 Framework.<\/p>\n

Aiming to create a modern and clinically efficient estate<\/a> by 2026, the works will cover updating Good Hope Hospital, Heartlands Hospital, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and Solihull Hospital.<\/p>\n

It follows Kier’s delivery of the \u00a397m treatment centre at Heartlands, which won Building Project of the Year at the Constructing Excellence Midlands Awards in June 2023.<\/p>\n

Multiple upgrades will be made to the Princess of Wales Maternity Unit at Heartlands Hospital<\/h3>\n

Kier will work with UHB on the estate strategy, with development at the Princess of Wales Maternity Unit at Heartlands Hospital as a specific focus.<\/p>\n

Upgrades will be made to inpatient accommodation and major medical equipment, as well as delivering ongoing minor works and maintenance to scanning facilities, induction suite, alterations to delivery rooms and a new bereavement zone.<\/p>\n

Fire safety measures will be brought to modern standards<\/h3>\n

Current inpatient ward facilities will be enhanced with new ensuite facilities, life refurbishments and improved access to Plant Rooms.<\/p>\n

Replacement fire doors and fire stopping works<\/a> will ensure safety standards are up to date.<\/p>\n

Continuing Kier’s success with hospital upgrade programmes<\/h3>\n

Tony Shenton, regional director for Kier Construction Eastern & Midlands, said: \u201cFollowing our successful delivery of the award-winning Heartlands Treatment Centre for UHB<\/a>, we are delighted that the trust has again appointed Kier to deliver key works across their estate.<\/p>\n

“Our extensive experience of creating state-of-the-art healthcare buildings will allow us to deliver upgrades that have an immediate impact on the quality of community healthcare<\/a>. We look forward to continuing our successful relationship with the trust and supporting them to deliver excellent care for the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
