CIOB Awards 2022
28 September, 7-11.30pm, JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, London
CIOB site visit: Midland Metropolitan University Hospital, Smethwick
13 September, 10.45am-1pm
Join the Balfour Beatty project team for this behind-the-scenes tour of the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH).
MMUH will be the largest acute hospital in the region, serving a population of over 500,000. You will have the opportunity to hear from the project team about the challenges of this complex build.
Built on a 6.8ha brownfield site, the hospital will host 675 inpatient beds and 13 operating theatres. It will provide maternity, children’s and inpatient adult services, and is a catalyst for local regeneration.
The bill will create statutory obligations for publicly procured construction projects over £2m. It has the potential to modernise the procurement process in Wales, increasing competition and access to contracts for SMEs.
Speakers include Hannah Blythyn MS, deputy minister for social partnership with the Welsh government, and Mark Harrison, CIOB head of EDI transformation.
The A30 provides a vital link between Penzance and the M5 motorway. The section between Chiverton and Carland Cross is the last remaining length of single carriageway and regularly experiences congestion and delays. This project will create a new dual carriageway.
The site visit will provide an overview of progress with a visit to the works at Carland Cross Junction. The team will give an insight into how they approach carbon reduction, demonstrate project innovations and share how they have managed archaeological challenges.
Places are limited to 20. Please book early to avoid disappointment.
Come celebrate the best in the nation at the CIOB in Scotland Awards Lunch, sponsored by Contract Scotland and Competence Matters.
Held at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Glasgow Central, the awards recognise excellence and celebrate the fantastic achievements of the industry in Scotland.
Join Buckingham Group for a presentation and tour of the largest Royal Mail parcel hub.
The facility will provide Royal Mail with a BREEAM Excellent and Planet Mark accredited National Distribution Centre in Rugby, totalling more than 800,000 sq ft.
The centre incorporates a single-storey warehouse unit, multi-storey car park, offices, vehicle servicing unit, and rail siding/platform.
