In this regard, the partners will jointly take up NHS construction projects under a Framework Alliance Contract.

The purpose-built urgent and emergency care centre will come up on a 17,000m² area at Derriford.

Works on the new facility, which will replace University Hospitals Plymouth’s existing Emergency Department, are expected to commence next year.
