P+HS Architects - to lead team of experts on Nuffield
Development Programme
P+HS Architects has been appointed to
the Nuffield Hospitals framework agreement, following a
rigorous selection process. The appointment is worth in
excess of £10m to the Practice each year.
As Britain’s longest standing not-for-profit group of
independent hospitals, Nuffield Hospitals provides
healthcare that is made accessible and affordable to as
many people as possible from a property base of 40
hospitals, and range of other treatment facilities.
Bringing the procurement of architectural services under
one central strategy Nuffield has chosen a very select
team to deliver its vision for the future. The team of
architects, engineers, project managers and quantity
surveyors, will collectively run a coordinated programme
of development and improvements over the next three
years.
P+HS Architects, based in Leeds and Stokesley (North
Yorkshire) is one of the two Architects chosen due to
its vast experience and very specialist knowledge in the
healthcare sector.
Nuffield Hospitals, Head of Procurement, Andrew Jones
said, “P+HS presented a very strong team equally matched
by its response to the tender. P+HS demonstrated
significant experience and understanding of the
healthcare sector which is critical. We liked the fact
that it is a smaller Practice and the ‘hands on’ team
includes the Managing Director, Chris Potter, you don’t
always get that level of involvement with larger
Practices.”
P+HS is partnering with Davis Langdon, White Young Green
and Kendall Kingscott to work alongside Nuffield on a
programme of works which will include the development of
new facilities and remodelling of interiors.
Specifically P+HS will lead the planning and design
requirements for the 20 sites located throughout the
North and as far South as Birmingham.
Chris Potter, Managing Director at P+HS Architects
comments, “We are of course delighted to be appointed to
the team of experts for Nuffield. P+HS has a wealth of
experience in every aspect of acute healthcare having
worked on over 100 healthcare projects of varying sizes
and complexity over the past twenty four years. We will
offer considerable expertise to help deliver cutting
edge facilities for the client to sustain their position
at the forefront of excellence in healthcare.”
Work has already started for a major £7.7 million
upgrading and redevelopment programme for Nuffield in
Newcastle, enhancing the services delivered from this
busy and successful hospital, together with a complete
remodelling of the interior space.
P+HS has dedicated a team to work solely on the Nuffield
projects, with the contract having secured a key long
term sector of work for the Practice. As a result it is
undergoing a recruitment drive to further enhance its
expertise in this and its other key sectors of
expertise; Housing and Education.
