Willmott Dixon<\/a> has secured an \u00a311.7m contract to build a new integrated social care and health centre in Sandwell, West Midlands<\/h2>\n

Sandwell Council<\/a> selected Willmott Dixon to deliver the social care and health centre in Sandwell via the Constructing West Midlands Framework.<\/p>\n

The three-storey property to provide supported independent living<\/a> provision in Rowley Regis will include 80 individual bedrooms and resident facilities such as a hairdressing salon, a physiotherapy facility, agile working spaces, locker rooms, large communal areas, kitchen space, laundry facilities, treatment rooms and resident lounges.<\/p>\n

The social care and health centre, which is being designed by Sandwell Council, will make up part of its wider regeneration vision \u2013 \u2018Sandwell Vision 2030\u2019 and five-year business plan \u2018Big plans for a great place\u2019 \u2013 to create a healthier, more successful future for local people.<\/p>\n

\u2018Leave a lasting legacy\u2019<\/h3>\n

Nick Heath, operations director at Willmott Dixon, said: \u201cWe are very excited to be expanding our relationship with Sandwell Council, where we are currently on-site at three of their education developments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs with all our projects, we aim to leave a lasting legacy and have therefore committed to investing \u00a3575k back into the local community during this development.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur teams will be working in partnership with Sandwell Council to support its employment and skills plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a key focus on youth unemployment, we will be running a variety of community initiatives, including career mentoring, mock interviews, CV advice, careers guidance, virtual school and college visits, careers talks, curriculum support, literacy support and safety talks.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur community engagement specialists will also be working with and donating to local community projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Drake, Constructing West Midlands representative and strategic lead design manager for Sandwell Council, commented: \u201cThe procurement of this project via the CWM framework has already delivered significant cost and time savings for the council and its residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to building upon this legacy and to working in partnership with Willmott Dixon to deliver a unique social care and health<\/a> centre for the residents of Sandwell Council.\u201d<\/p>\n

The integrated social care and health centre facility will be complete by summer 2022.<\/p>\n
