London, Whitechapel

Short description

The Barts and The London new hospitals programme is one of the largest ever PPPs in Europe. Construction alone is worth over £1 billion, and the SPC, Capital Hospitals Limited, holds an operating contract of 42 years for a broad range of support services in these historic hospitals.

Barts Hospital, which first opened in 1123, will become a Cancer and Cardiac Centre of Excellence. The Royal London Hospital, once home of the so-called ‘elephant man’, dates back to 1740 and will be largely rebuilt to include London’s leading trauma and emergency care centre, the capital’s second largest children’s hospital and one of Europe’s largest renal units, with London’s Air Ambulance, operating from the top of the new building.

In addition to new hospitals’ 1,248 patient beds, Barts will have eight operating theaters and the Royal London 22. The new hospitals will have the latest medical equipment via a contract with Siemens for the most up-to-date diagnostic and treatment technology until 2045. Other services include catering, cleaning, portering and laundry, as well as sterile services.
