The firms missing out are BAM, Bouyges, FCC, McLaren, Multiplex and Sisk.

Natalie Forrest, Chief Programme Officer at the New Hospital Programme, commented: “This is a defining moment for the New Hospital Programme and for healthcare construction in England.

“The Hospital 2.0 Alliance is about more than building hospitals – it is about transforming how we deliver them. By bringing together DHSC, NHS England, Trusts, and industry partners under a true alliance model, we are creating the conditions for faster delivery, better value, and consistent quality at scale.

“The appointment of these construction partners is critical to our capacity and capability, and reflects a shared commitment to collaboration, innovation, and long-term investment in skills and social value. Together, we are building a sustainable model that will support the NHS for decades to come.”
