NHS NEW HOSPITAL PROGRAMME
HEADQUARTERS: LONDON NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES: 361 terms, robust governance structures and comprehensive protections for subcontractors, providing the supply chain with the confidence needed to commit fully to the programme.
“ This approach makes H2A attractive to the best companies, a client of choice, helping raise standards and grow UK skills to build the NHS of the future,” Rick says. The model’ s attractiveness to highcalibre suppliers is essential for unlocking constrained UK capacity in both the construction and healthcare sectors.
Transformation integration Digital transformation forms a core component of the H2A supply chain management strategy.
The Hospital 2.0 system integrates data and technology across all schemes, spanning design, construction and operational phases. Taking such a comprehensive digital approach enables continuous learning whilst driving best practices, reducing errors and improving decision-making capabilities.
Digital tools are fundamental to the programme’ s industrialised delivery approach, supporting offsite manufacturing and accelerating productivity through repeatable solutions. Crucially, these systems establish the‘ golden thread’ of information mandated by the Building Safety Act, ensuring ongoing safety compliance and operational insight.
The result is what Rick describes as“ a smarter, safer and more resilient healthcare estate” that leverages technology to deliver superior outcomes for patients, staff and taxpayers.
