Development of a new, modern and compliant health facility

Demand on primary health care services in Orpington was rising and the current premises was substandard, cramped, insufficient and poorly located. Bromley CCG worked with Berkley Homes who were redeveloping the former Orpington Police Station into a residential-led mixed use scheme, to incorporate a new Health and Wellbeing Centre in the ground and first floors of the development.

We were asked to lead on project management and procurement for the new centre, and undertook the role of Head Leaseholder with a 125 year lease at a peppercorn rent with Berkeley Homes for the ground and first floor of this mixed-use building.

The building accommodates primary care and community services for the local population of Orpington in a new, modern and compliant health facility, and located in the easily-accessible town centre. The building includes a GP practice relocating from previous accomodation within the Orpington area, rooms for the GP Alliance, clinical space for therapy services, bookable clinical space, provision for health and wellbeing services, supporting accommodation and a shell space for the development of an MRI suite. Throughout the project we have been fully engaged with the CCG on all decisions, providing excellent customer service and collaboration.
