The total Healthcare construction market is valued at 2.6bn in 2015, with a forecasted increase of 6.1% by 2018. The government has allocated £4.8bn capital funding for health every year up to 2020. During this period at least £500m will be invested in building new hospitals, including Cambridge, Brighton and Sandwell.

The NHS has one of the largest estates in Europe. And as the cost of providing front-line services increases, so funds have to be diverted from capital investment and maintenance. With a

£4.3bn in maintenance backlog reported for 2014/15. Therefore, products and systems that can contribute to efficiencies in estates management and use are necessary to achieve envisaged improvements to the NHS.

BIM is seen as key to delivering cost savings. Already BIM has been identified as contributing to 14% of cost savings since 2009. Improving efficiency of building stock is also key. All NHS organisations are required to have a Sustainable Development Plan (SDMP) in place to support the NHS’s Carbon Reduction Strategy.

To meet the need for greater efficiencies in estate management long term partnerships between the NHS and the private sector to modernise buildings, equipment and services is being encouraged by government.
