Warwickshire-based building services provider, EIC, has won a
£1m mechanical and electrical contract at Nuffield Health
Hospital in Tunbridge Wells.
The contractor will be renewing and upgrading the mechanical and
electrical services at the hospital as it undergoes a multi-million
pound refurbishment. This win comes after EIC's successful
completion of a contract to refurbish the boiler house at the
hospital last year.
EIC will be working alongside main contractor ISG Jackson, and
the contract will be carried out in phases so the hospital can
remain operational throughout, causing minimum disruption to
patients and staff during the 49-week programme.
John Harris, EIC contracts director, said: "We are delighted to
be making a return visit to Nuffield Hospital and to be a part of
this exciting project. Investment in the healthcare sector has
proved more robust than some other areas of the market as state of
the art equipment and up-to-date systems are vital for their
day-to-day operations. The private sector in particular has been
keen to invest in its facilities, reflecting its strong customer
focused approach to service delivery.
"With almost 40 years' experience in the health sector, EIC is
well placed to help healthcare customers make the most of their
investment. We have the knowledge and expertise to anticipate our
clients' requirements, undertaking work which offers best whole
life value and maximises cost savings."
Nuffield Health Tunbridge Wells Hospital originally opened in
1968 from funds raised by the local community and has established
itself as a leading private healthcare provider in the region. The
refurbishment, which commenced late last year is designed to
improve the look and feel of the hospital and enhance the patient
experience.
EIC's past experience in the health sector includes work for NHS
Trusts, Nuffield Health, Mercury Healthcare, BUPA, Marie Curie
Cancer Care and Trinity Health. More recently, EIC has carried out
work for the New Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham ,
Southampton General Hospital and Addenbrooke's Hospital.
In addition to its national headquarters in Warwickshire, EIC
has a network of 13 regional offices across the UK - from Cornwall
to Scotland - enabling the firm to meet the needs of both local and
national customers, wherever they are located.
