A consortium including Spanish multinational Sacyr and Kier’s FM arm has landed a new type of contract to design, build, finance and maintain a major Cardiff hospital, where Cuttings will be providing Lightning Protection to BS EN 62305.
Velindre University NHS Trust has appointed the Acorn Consortium to deliver the Velindre Cancer Centre.
Construction will be carried out by Sacyr, along with contractor Andrew Scott, while Kier Facilities will provide post-build FM work.
The project is among the first being delivered using the Welsh government’s new Mutual Investment Model for public-private partnerships.
The model has similarities to the former Private Finance Initiative, with private suppliers being paid a fee for financing, building and maintaining assets, which are then transferred to public ownership at the end of a long-term contract.
