Dalkia, operating under the umbrella of Électricité de France (EDF), has been entrusted with a new contractual endeavour worth £25 million. This contract, awarded through the Procure23 framework, is aimed at delivering key mechanical, electrical, and public health services for the forthcoming Women’s & Children’s Building at the Countess of Chester Hospital. The project is spearheaded by Integrated Health Projects (IHP), a joint venture consisting of Vinci Construction UK and Sir Robert McAlpine.
The new building, set to be a modern three-storey structure, will house state-of-the-art facilities for maternity, neonatal, paediatric, and gynaecology services. This development is a significant upgrade, replacing one of the oldest structures on the hospital estate. The anticipated completion of this project is scheduled for 2025, which marks a substantial step forward in enhancing patient care and service delivery in the region.
Dalkia’s engagement in this project follows its successful completion of a £34.5 million package at Manchester’s Christie Hospital, where it handled redevelopment efforts after a fire in 2017. The expertise garnered from prior projects underpins Dalkia’s ability to undertake this current assignment effectively. Tony Walker, Dalkia’s regional director, expressed his enthusiasm for the ongoing partnership with IHP and the hospital trust, highlighting a commitment to delivering excellence and expanding their footprint in the sector.
This contract reflects Dalkia’s continuing impact on modernising healthcare facilities in the UK.
