Sacyr has formally joined the New Hospital Programme’s Wave 1 delivery agreements, established through the Hospital 2.0 Alliance to build the next generation of NHS hospitals in England, United Kingdom.
The contract signing marks a major milestone as the New Hospital Programme moves into delivery. Sacyr will work with Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust on the new Frimley Park Hospital, one of 11 hospital schemes included in Wave 1 of agreements between NHS trusts and construction companies.
The new Frimley Park Hospital represents an estimated investment of more than £1.5 billion, with construction expected to start in 2028-2029. The scheme will provide a long-term replacement for the existing hospital, supporting safer, more modern and more resilient healthcare environments for patients, staff and local communities.
The existing Frimley Park Hospital, originally built in the 1970s, serves more than 900,000 people across Surrey, north-east Hampshire and Berkshire in southeast London.

Through the Hospital 2.0 Alliance, the New Hospital Programme brings together NHS trusts and construction companies under a long-term model designed to replace project-by-project procurement with a more collaborative approach based on shared expertise, repeatable standards and continuous improvement.
Sacyr’s role
Joining the New Hospital Programme partnership strengthens Sacyr’s position in the UK healthcare infrastructure market and allows the company to contribute its international experience in technically complex projects and collaborative delivery models. Sacyr has delivered more than 70 hospitals worldwide.
The project will also draw on Sacyr’s growing UK team of talented professionals, combining local knowledge with the company’s global healthcare expertise to support delivery of this landmark facility. In the UK, Sacyr is also taking part in the construction and future concession of the Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff, Wales.
