Balfour Beatty has won a deal to undertake the interim construction contract on the Midland Met hospital in Smethwick, which has stalled following the collapse of Carillion.
Balfour will undertake work to weatherproof the building and develop the design, ahead of appointment of a final construction contract, for which procurement begins in November.
Carillion signed a deal in 2015 to build the £350m hospital, which was originally due to open this month.
Construction problems pushed the hospital’s completion back to spring 2019 but stalled when the building was only two-thirds complete after Carillion entered liquidation in January.
