Project Overview

Salford City Council, working with Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust put forward a requirement for a new sixty bed Intermediate Care Unit (IMU) at the Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust site. The new IMU is to offer an increased care provision to the people of Greater Manchester as well as relief to acute wards at the neighbouring Salford Royal Hospital through the creation of a new rehabilitation facility.

Patients at the new IMU now have access to comfortable, engaging shared spaces at both levels to encourage social interaction and independence, whilst providing functional areas for dining, rehabilitation and physiotherapy. The new two storey IMU promotes care within a bespoke facility, to enable patients to rehabilitate quickly and safely, ensuring they are fully ready to return back home or into the community and prevent a ‘bounce-back’ into the acute Hospital environment.

This is inclusive of Salford City Council and Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust. We managed a single-stage Design & Build procurement route, obtained interest from key supply chain construction partners and received all tender returns within the project budget.
