Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust has issued an invitation for firms to prequalify to construct the new £353m Midland Metropolitan Hospital.

The hospital will be funded by both the public and private sector, through a Private Finance 2 deal.

Located on a derelict industrial estate in Smethwick, the eight-storey hospital will have 670 beds and provide capacity for 107,000 inpatients and 120,000 outpatients a year. The project is expected to start in 2016, and be completed by 2018-19.

A bidders’ day will take place on Monday 21 July – full details can be found in the PQQ, available from the NHS e-sourcing portal. Alternatively, contact Daphne Lewsley at the project office on 01215 075 566.
