Elliott secures £5m contract

YORKSHIRE off-site construction specialist Elliott has been awarded the contract for a £5m, 108-bed staff accommodation block at Peterborough City Hospital.

Peterborough City Hospital’s new four-storey accommodation block will be installed by Elliott in 16 weeks on site and Morley-based Elliott has incorporated sustainable and eco-features into the design, including increased levels of insulation, low-energy lighting, energy efficient heating systems and water-saving technology.

Dr Peter Reading, interim chief executive at Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “This build project will enable us to offer our staff good quality accommodation at the City Hospital site. The building has been created in a modular design which means it will be more straightforward to extend it in the future, if necessary.

“I am pleased that the Trust is able to work with a local company to develop the site and we look forward to watching it quickly take shape.”

Bernard Quenot, managing director of Elliott, said: “We have a long track record of providing high quality building solutions on time and within budget. Our off-site systems offer assured levels of quality as well as meeting all current regulatory requirements.”
