Following a competitive tender, main contractor Morgan Sindall Construction has handed Leeds-based G&H a £12m contract to deliver the mechanical, electrical and public health (MEP) design & build works on its Harrogate District Hospital project.

The new £50m day care surgery and imaging centre that Morgan Sindall is building is part of Harrogate & District NHS Foundation Trust’s (HDFT) transformation programme.

A 60-strong team from G&H started on site on 6^th October. It will install and commission all MEP services in accordance with the designs created by G&H’s in-house engineers.

The facility will have two operating theatres, three x-ray rooms, an MRI suite, a procedure room and a day care ward. G&H will install the theatre equipment, piped medical gas, ultraclean canopies to the two MRI scanners, specialist nurse call, power and ventilation.

Scheduled to be complete and ready for handover in summer 2026, the building will boast many energy saving features, such as air source heat pumps, ultraclean ventilation (UCV) canopies, chillers and plate heat exchangers.

Due to the nature of the building, the resilience to the electrical supply is provided by two HV transformers, two UPS units, and a main generator with backup connection points.

Morgan Sindall project manager Steven Fry said: ““Personally, for me it is great to be working with the G&H team again and also great to be part of the Morgan Sindall and G&H journey. With G&H’s extensive experience in healthcare and fully collaborative approach aligning with ours here at Morgan Sindall, I am sure this project will be a success.”

G&H senior contracts manager (north) Rob Woodward added: “Our aim is always to bring buildings to life and transform them into safe, comfortable and efficient spaces where people can thrive. This new facility will help the trust perform more surgeries, reduce waiting times, and provide an improved environment for patients and staff.”
