Pre-construction agreement reached for new Jersey hospital

Posted on by in Weekly News

The States of Jersey has selected J3 Limited as pre-construction partner for the ongoing project to develop Jersey’s new hospital.

J3 is a joint venture between Sir Robert McAlpine, Channel Islands construction company Garenne Construction Group, and infrastructure, support services and facilities management business FES Group.

The partnership with the States of Jersey involves the signing of a pre-construction service agreement, which followed a competitive tender process.

The new hospital has secured political approval to be built on the site of the current hospital, in St Helier, and £466M funding has also been approved. The project team intends to submit an outline planning application in April and to begin work on site by the end of 2018.

The Minister for Infrastructure, Deputy Eddie Noel, said: “We are beginning what I believe is a very exciting partnership with J3, working with three family-run businesses which have extensive experience in working on major projects of this type. We will be combining the unparalleled local knowledge of the Garenne Construction Group, the engineering expertise of FES Group and the international construction expertise of Sir Robert McAlpine.”

Jersey’s new hospital will have 288 inpatient beds and a range of support services and outpatient clinics. The first clinical areas in the 50,000 square-metre hospital are due to open in 2022 and the hospital is anticipated to be fully operational by 2024, with the project complete by 2026.
