The Cook Government is calling for expressions of interest (EOI) for managing contractors to design and construct the landmark $1.8 billion Women and Babies Hospital, the expansion of services at Osborne Park Hospital and neonatal services at Perth Children’s Hospital.
The EOI is the first step in appointing the managing contractor that will work with the State Government to deliver this important project.
The project will relocate services from King Edward Memorial Hospital to a new hospital built within the Fiona Stanley Hospital precinct compromising of obstetrics, gynaecology and neonate services.
The project also includes an expansion of neonatal services with Perth Children’s Hospital and an expansion of obstetrics and gynaecology services, birthing suites and theatres at Osborne Park Hospital.
A new family birthing centre will also be built alongside the redeveloped Osborne Park Hospital.
The project is expected to create more than 1,400 local jobs during construction and provide opportunities for local suppliers and contractors.
The EOI is available on Tenders WA.
As stated by Premier Roger Cook:
“The new Women and Babies Hospital is one of the most significant health investments for our State and will deliver exceptional healthcare for women and babies.
“The new hospital will be modern and fit-for-purpose and next door to the State’s largest tertiary hospital.
“The call for expressions of interest for a managing contractor is the chance for industry and the Government to work together to deliver this landmark project for all Western Australians.”
As stated by Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson:
“The world-class facilities delivered through this project will enable comprehensive healthcare services and greater choice for women, families and the community of Western Australia.
“We are also expanding services in our northern corridor with an expansion to Osborne Park Hospital to include the establishment of a new Family Birth Centre and expanded maternity and neonatal services.
“I am committed to getting this project right for women and families in Western Australia.”
