Graham Construction has been selected to deliver two new health facilities worth £134 million in Aberdeen.

The contractor will build the centres on behalf of NHS Grampian at its Foresterhill Health Campus. Construction work will begin in mid-2018, with completion scheduled for 2020.

The multi-million pound project is the largest to be procured through the Health Facilities Scotland Framework.

Features include creating the new Baird Family Hospital, which will bring together all services at the existing Aberdeen Maternity Hospital and breast and gynaecology services from Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI).


In addition, the new ANCHOR Centre will include day-patient and out-patient oncology and haematology services relocating from ARI.

Jackie Bremner, NHS Grampian Project Director for the project, said: "This is a very exciting milestone in the development of these important new developments on the Foresterhill Health Campus. We look forward to working with our partners at Graham Construction to create high quality modern facilities that will help enable us to deliver quality care designed for the future for the people of the North East, North of Scotland and the Northern Isles."

Gary Holmes, Regional Director for Graham, added: "We are privileged to be working with NHS Grampian and its stakeholders in the development of the Foresterhill Health Campus and in equipping it to offer the highest quality of care to the region for years to come."
