Main contractor appointed for new neonatal unit

BAM Construction has been selected as preferred bidder for the construction of an £18 m unit to care for very sick and premature babies at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Denbighshire – the Sub-Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Centre (SuRNICC).

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) made the appointment after funding was announced by Vaughan Gething, the Welsh Government’s Health Secretary. Construction has commenced, and the new development is expected to open in 2018. 

The project re-unites BAM’s construction manager – North West, Rob Bailey, with a hospital at which he previously delivered a new cancer treatment centre about five years ago. He said: “We’ve been working with the Health Board for some time to develop the business case for the new neonatal facilities. I’m delighted that funding is now secured, and the scheme can be delivered. I’m very fortunate to be working with a client that has such an incredible life-changing impact for people in North Wales.” 

Apart from the new unit the scheme includes a variety of other alterations. Preparatory work on site has already started, with the Welsh Government’s initial funding of £1.422 m also going towards upgrades to electrical infrastructure at the SuRNICC site, and an additional transport incubator for transferring the most critically ill and unstable babies.
