The focus will be on five schemes across the East of England to be built under the New Hospital Programme.

The projects and main contractors are:

• North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust (Hinchingbrooke Hospital) – Kier Construction
• James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust – Skanska
• Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust – Morgan Sindall Construction
• Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust – Skanska
• West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust – DRAGADOS Sociedad Anónima

The East of England event – in Norwich on 17 September – will give main contractors the chance to talk to potential suppliers across the region.

NHP chief operating officer Rick Lennard said: “The East of England is looking forward to an exciting future with a string of major infrastructure and construction projects in the pipeline, including our five hospitals. While this is great news for the region, we recognise that without action this presents a risk to the capacity to deliver.

“Our event will help ensure that suppliers can understand our programme, how they can get involved, and build confidence for companies to grow to meet demand

“The East of England faces a significant pipeline of major projects over the coming years. This event is intended to give suppliers early visibility of what is coming, help them understand how to position themselves for opportunity, and strengthen dialogue between the programme and the regional market.”
