The Velindre University NHS Trust has shortlisted two consortia based on the evaluation of the pre-qualification questionnaire responses for the development of Velindre Cancer Centre in Whitchurch, North Cardiff. The two teams are the following:

• Future Health consortia- FCC Concesiones de Infraestructuras S.L.U., Meridiam Sustainable Infrastructure Europe IV SLP, FCC Construccion S.A., Robertson Facilities Management Limited, NBBJ Ltd, Hoare Lea LLP and AYESA Ingenieria y Arquitectura S.A.U;
• Acorn consortia- Kajima Partnerships Ltd, Sacyr Infrastructure UK Ltd, Aberdeen Standard European Infrastructure GP IV Ltd, Sacyr UK Ltd, Andrew Scott Ltd, White Arkitekter AB, Ove Arup & Partners Ltd and Kier Facilities Services Ltd trading as Kier Places.

Two consortia will work with Velindre University NHS Trust to develop their further proposals for the new centre. During this time, the trust and the consortia will discuss and negotiate issues such as the potential design offerings and the Community Benefits proposals that must add social value both during and after the build.

The project involves the development of a new centre to replace the current Velindre Cancer Centre, which is over 65 years old and does not have the facilities or space to meet future challenges. The new facility will occupy around 32,500 sqm and will include a specialist cancer treatment centre, a centre for learning, research and development facilities, temporary construction accesses, parking, energy centre and other infrastructure.
