South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust (SWLSTG), based in Tooting, has now completed the second stage of the procurement process for its plans to modernise its estate and transform its inpatient facilities.

The Trust has a three stage process to select a development partner to deliver the whole of the Estate Modernisation Programme which will deliver two brand-new state-of-the-art hospitals at both the Springfield and Tolworth sites. The second stage of this process was a key milestone for the Trust and involved selecting the shortlist of three development partners:

• Macquarie Corporate Holdings Pty Ltd & Kier Construction Ltd
• Notting Hill Housing Trust & MACE Ltd
• STEP (Kajima Partnerships and Sir Robert McAlpine Capital Ventures Ltd

The final stage will be to continue dialogue with the three development partners listed above before choosing the preferred development partner in Summer 2017.
