The Northern Health Social Care Trust is seeking a design team for a new £50 million hospital next to the Antrim Area Hospital in Northern Ireland [Deadline: 3 March 2021]
The winning integrated consultant team will be appointed to a single-party framework – covering the new hospital and other upgrades across the trust’s estate – which is estimated to be worth around £18 million in fees for its four-year duration.

The project, planned to complete in 2026, will create a new 134-bed mental health in-patient hospital at the Antrim Area Hospital to replace two existing mental health facilities which are operated by the trust at its Holywell and Causeway hospitals and considered no longer ‘fit for purpose.’ Six shortlisted teams will be invited to draw up design concepts.
