Interserve has strengthened its partnership with NHS Wales after securing a £17 million contract for improvements at Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen.
The firm will deliver the work on the obstetric and neonatal facilities at the hospital as part of the government's £25.2m investment.
The work forms part of the Hywel Dda University Health Board Design For Life Framework. These frameworks are for major projects with a capital value in excess of £4m.
Work will be carried out in multiple phases, with the first stage comprising the refurbishment to existing buildings, together with a new two-storey extension located in the existing courtyard.
The second phase of redevelopment will increase the capacity of the facilities at the hospital and will include the installation of high-dependency and special-care cots. It will also increase the number of birthing rooms, operating theatres and resuscitation bays. In addition, new facilities will be provided for parents with overnight rooms and car parking facilities.
Work is expected to start on the site in October.
Carl Read, Divisional Director at Interserve Construction, said: "This continues our successful work on the Designed for Life Frameworks adding to our portfolio of work with the NHS in Wales.
"Interserve has completed more than 100 construction projects in the health sector in the UK in the past ten years. Our in-depth knowledge of UK health and community care construction work gives us the capability to deliver well-designed facilities truly fit for purpose by a team based locally to the project."
