The following provides examples of projects that we have worked on, including our role on each project.

Hospitals -

Altnagelvin Hospitals Laboratory and Pharmacy Service Centre

A £18m Public Private Parnership ("PPP") to design, build, finance and maintain a Laboratory and Pharmacy Service Centre for the Altnagelvin Hospitals Health & Social Services Trust.

Construction was completed in January 2007 three months ahead of schedule, and the facility is now in the operational phase. United Healthcare was the project sponsor, an equity provider as well as being the Bid and Consortium Project Managers. The consortium included Farrans Construction, Integral FM Services, Ash Corporate Finance, Kennedy FitzGerald Associates, Cundall Johnston, Mulholland & Doherty and Northcroft.

Castle Hill, Hull Oncology and Haematology Development

A £65m project to design, build, finance and maintain an Oncology and Haematology Development at the Hull Castle Hill Hospital site. This development is essential for the future provision of services for patients with cancer from a huge catchment area encompassing Scunthorpe and Grimsby in the south to Scarborough in the north.

United Healthcare were the Bid Managers for the successful Healthcare Solutions consortium, including ABN AMRO Bank, Shepherd Construction, Haden Young, OPERON, HLM, WYG, Hulley & Kirkwood and DL&E. Construction of the facility was completed on schedule, and the project is now in the operational phase.

Oxted Hospital

A PPP project to design, build and provide facilities management services in relation to a Rehabilitation and Therapy Centre for the NHS; as well as a new nursing home that is operated by Barchester Healthcare; and affordable housing units managed by L&Q Housing Association.

United Healthcare was a 50/50 partner with Cathedral Healthcare. We reached Financial Close on this project in 2003 and construction was completer and the facility became operational in 2005. Other team members include Barchester Healthcare, PRP Architects, Castleoak Construction and Meedhurst Project Management.

The investment in the project was sold to Primary Health Properties in December 2006.

Bromley Hospital

A £140m major new hospital re-development in Bromley. The new development is based at Farnborough in Kent and has over 500 beds and day case facilities. It provides a full range of acute general hospital services, bringing together hospital services previously provided from four local sites. The many outdated second world war buildings are being replaced with modern facilities, which will overcome many of the problems working from split sites.

United Healthcare were the Bid/Consortium Managers and Medical Equipping Advisers for the United Healthcare Consortium, with Taylor Woodrow as the main contractor. Other consortium members include Barclays Bank, CODA Architects, ISS Healthcare, Barratt Developments, Healthcare Environments, Waterman Partnership and Zisman Bowyer & Partners. Construction of the facility was completed on schedule, and the project is now in the operational phase.

Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Trust (£180m)

South Buckingshamshire NHS Trust (£45m)

Royal Brompton NHS Trust (£30m)

Hull Royal Infirmary NHS Trust (£95m)

Schools -

Rochdale Grouped Schools

A £56m project to design, build, finance and provide a range of facilities management services for Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council.  The aims of the project are to provide 21st century school facilities for over 3,000 pupils and to break down the barriers by providing a seamless continuum for all pupils requiring Special Educational Needs (SEN) Schools provision in the Borough.  A major feature of the proposals is the plan to co-locate special schools with mainstream schools (on three of the four sites).

United Healthcare were the Bid Managers for the Axiom Education consortium that includes ABN AMRO Bank, Shepherd Construction, Haden Young, Aedas, Bryanston Square and OPERON.  Construction of the new schools was completed on schedule, and the project is now in the operational phase.
