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 comprising 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.
