Healthcare organisations face major challenges in construction and estate management, and, more recently, with the push towards the HIP1 and HIP2 new build programmes. In the NHS, for example, new builds and refurbishment projects must be delivered to net-zero-carbon standards and the Estates and Facilities Management Stretch programme aims to reduce the environmental impacts of estates. In addition, NHS trusts have to increase asset efficiency and utilisation while managing an ageing property portfolio with maintenance backlogs and capital work underspending.

RSK understands these challenges. We help clients to develop, maintain, improve, renew and dispose of property assets.

Our focus is on providing clients with the best solutions for their challenges. We pride ourselves on a responsive, pragmatic approach and a deep understanding of clients’ needs. This enables us to provide comprehensive support and to identify opportunities that have positive effects on programme, cost and risk. As a leading provider of environmental and site investigation services to infrastructure projects and construction and property programmes, RSK has excellent geographical coverage across the UK.

Our ever-expanding business includes one of the largest consultancy offerings in the UK coupled with a growing suite of contracting services.  Collectively, we deliver added value through an unrivalled package of services from pre-acquisition and planning through to post-construction.

We help clients in the healthcare sector at every stage of a properties lifespan including development, maintenance, improvement, asset renewal and disposal. In the UK, healthcare organisations can access our services through various supply agreements and frameworks, including

• ProCure22 (direct appointments by Principal Supply Chain Partners)
• Constructionline
• Shared Business Services (SBS) – via our Pellings business
• London Procurement Partnership
• ESPO

The RSK name may not be familiar to everyone in the healthcare sector because much of our work is delivered by our well-established and respected subsidiaries.  Collectively, our work is gathering pace and as a group we can service Estates Teams within Trusts, as well as across the supply chain with planners, architects and contractors working on healthcare projects.  Visit the RSK Businesses section to learn more about the brands within the RSK Group.
