The government in particular is aiming to address the backlog of public healthcare facilities. Included in the programme are contracts under a public private partnership (PPP) model. Whilst the timing of these tenders is uncertain, the group has the capability and experience in concessions contracts and in the construction of hospitals.

The group was recently responsible for the construction of seven high-profiled healthcare-related contracts to the value of
R1,1 billion. Four of these contracts are greenfields sites. Three involved additions and alterations that took place in tight timelines at fully-operational hospitals.

New Mantsopa Hospital in the Free State is a joint venture with enterprise development partners of the Department of Public Works and the Free State provincial government.

Three hospitals in Gauteng (Netcare Femina, Netcare Linmed and Lenmed private hospital) require significant additions and alterations.

One new 230-bed hospital (Khayelitsha Hospital) in Cape Town for the Department of Public Works.

Two facilities in KwaZulu-Natal (Pomeroy Community Health Centre and GJ Crookes Hospital) require the construction of either new facilities or additions to facilities. These are both joint ventures with the group’s enterprise development partners.

One of the group’s significant healthcare contracts completed last year was the construction of the new Netcare Hospital at Waterfall City in Gauteng.

Healthcare-related contracts demand high quality and performance. The group has established a strong reputation in this field.
