Teesside contractor Geoffrey Robinson has clinched the job to tackle the latest phase of long-running repairs at Roseberry Park Hospital in Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n

The mental health facility, built under PFI just over a decade ago, has been plagued with serious roof, plumbing and fire safety defects since opening in 2011.<\/p>\n

The Tees, Esk and Wear Valley NHS Trust, which fought successfully to terminate its PFI deal, has signed up Geoffrey Robinson under a \u00a316m contract to carry out works to blocks 1 and 9.<\/p>\n

If extended, the job could balloon into a \u00a395m programme covering a further 11 blocks.<\/p>\n

Interserve, now Tilbury Douglas, delivered the first set of repair works to blocks 5 and 10 back in 2019.<\/p>\n

The original \u00a375m PFI deal was delivered by Three Valleys Healthcare with Laing O\u2019Rourke as builder and Carillion lined up as facilities manager. But problems began to emerge almost immediately, with timber roof structures decaying from condensation in 2011, and major fire safety flaws uncovered in 2018.<\/p>\n

The project has triggered years of legal battles. The Trust initially sought more than \u00a3125m from the PFI vehicle, which in turn pursued Laing O\u2019Rourke.<\/p>\n

In 2021, O\u2019Rourke agreed to pay \u00a318m in compensation and spent a further \u00a35m remediating timber roofs.<\/p>\n
