The new £18 million hospital unit is being built at Glan Clwyd Hospital, Wales


BAM Construction has been chosen as preferred bidder for the construction of an £18 million unit to care for very sick and premature babies at Glan Clwyd Hospital. The scheme is known as the Sub-Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Centre (SuRNICC).  

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) has made the appointment after funding was announced by Vaughan Gething, the Welsh Government’s health secretary. 

Construction has just commenced and the new development is expected to open in 2018. The first new build phase of works will complete in Autumn 2017.  

The project re-unites BAM Construction Manager Rob Bailey with the hospital for whom he has previously delivered the cancer treatment centre, just a few years ago. Bailey, who lives nearby in Deeside, is currently completing the new Urgent Care and Trauma facilities for Aintree Hospital.  

“We’ve been working with the Health Board for some time to develop the business case for the new neo natal facilities. I’m delighted that funding is now secured and the scheme can be delivered. I’m very fortunate to be working with a client that has such an incredible life changing impact for people in North Wales,” said Bailey. 

Apart from the new Unit the scheme includes a variety of other alterations.  

Preparatory work on the site has already started with Welsh Government’s initial funding of £1.422m to include upgrades to electrical infrastructure at the site of the SuRNICC and an additional transport incubator for transferring the most critically ill and unstable babies.
