About the New Hospital Programme

The New Hospital Programme is the greatest single investment programme in the NHS infrastructure in recent decades.

At the heart of the New Hospital Programme is a bold vision to transform the way we deliver healthcare infrastructure in the NHS. The rolling programme of healthcare infrastructure investment will create an enduring supply chain capability to deliver hospital infrastructure over the next 15 years and beyond.

The programme is being delivered by NHS England, sponsored by the Department of Health and Social Care.

Together we have developed Hospital 2.0: a strategic, programmatic approach to designing and building new hospitals that drives efficiency through standardised designs, common components and innovative technologies. Clinicians across the NHS have been central to developing clinical briefs and technical requirements that ensure these deliver improved patient outcomes.

In partnership with NHS Trusts across the country, we are now creating a collaborative, enterprise approach with industry. This will ensure our commercial and procurement strategy achieves economies of scale, mitigates critical supply constraints created by the scale of concurrent scheme delivery, and creates the enduring supply chain capability needed to support rolling healthcare infrastructure delivery.
