Construction Starts on the New Hillingdon Hospital
The only London scheme in wave one of the New Hospital Programme puts a net-zero replacement hospital on the western edge of the Uxbridge site, with 327 homes alongside it, inside a capital envelope of GBP 1-1.5bn. Laing O'Rourke signed the delivery contract on 30 July 2026; the trust's milestones run construction to 2032 with the hospital available to patients in early 2033.
- A June 2025 update from The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to Hillingdon's Health and Social Care Select Committee confirms that "Hillingdon will proceed as a wave 1 scheme, with construction expected to start in 2027/28 and a capital envelope of GBP 1-1.5bn"[1]
- The scheme sits alongside the seven high-priority RAAC hospitals and is "one of a small number of schemes that have been selected to proceed in wave 1 and the only one in London"; it "will act as a testbed for future hospital redevelopments in England"[1]
- The Trust's draft milestones run: design refresh beginning July 2025, contractor selection and onboarding in early 2026, Outline Business Case submission October 2026, Full Business Case submission March 2028, construction 2028-2032 and the hospital available to patients in early 2033[1]
- Following the wave 1 announcement the Minister of State for Health set out expectations that the Trust develop a Hospital 2.0 compliant design (the New Hospital Programme's standardised approach), gain Local Authority planners' support for it, and move forward with the Outline Business Case "supported by a programme plan to be agreed by March 2025"[1]
- An Integrated Site Clearance Programme covering enabling schemes, decants and business-as-usual site moves supports "a cleared site in 2027", including completing the Furze refurbishment by October 2025 and a new power supply phase[1]
- On procurement, the New Hospital Programme began appointing 10 contractors to a Hospital 2.0 Alliance framework - "This GBP 37 billion, multi-supplier framework agreement will be used by Trusts to appoint Alliance Partners who will provide the detailed design, construction and handover of individual New Hospital Programme schemes between 2025 and 2040" - and was "on track to award places" in Q4 of 2025, with the Trust to be matched to a contractor by collaborative allocation[1]
- The wiki predates and does not name the delivery contractor, so the pin's claim that Laing O'Rourke signed on 30 July 2026 is unsupported here; the document also says nothing about 327 homes, a net-zero design or a site on the western edge of the Uxbridge campus[1]
- Other workstreams under way at the time: budget and target Gross Internal Floor Area received with the schedule of accommodation being aligned to budget ("Validation and sign off of this process is expected by mid-July 2025"), revised Digital, Facilities and Workforce Strategies, and a Target Operating Model expected to start over summer 2025[1]
