Victorian Health and Human Services Building Authority shortlisted three consortia to deliver the AUD562 million (USD433.7 million) Frankston Hospital redevelopment.

The redevelopment will transform services at the hospital, providing world-class healthcare for local families and creating up to 1700 jobs during the peak of construction and in new opportunities for the healthcare sector in Melbourne’s south-east. 

The shortlisted consortia are:

• Exemplar Health – comprising Capella Capital, Lendlease, Honeywell and Compass
• Plenary Health – comprising of Plenary Group, Multiplex and Spotless
• Pulse Health Partnership – comprising John Laing, Watpac and Serco Australia

The Frankston Hospital redevelopment will be delivered as a public private partnership, which involves bringing together a private consortium to design, construct, finance and maintain the new facility.

Frankston Hospital will remain a public hospital, with all clinical health services operated by Peninsula Health.

In the coming months, the shortlisted consortia will begin preparing detailed proposals to deliver the redevelopment, as part of a comprehensive tender process. The successful bidder is expected to be announced in early 2022, with construction of a new multi-storey tower to start shortly after.  Construction of the main tower is due to be complete in late 2024, and the redeveloped hospital treating patients in early 2025.
