Miller Construction has secured three health contract schemes worth £13.2m, the Construction Enquirer has reported.

Delivered through hub North Scotland Ltd, work is expected to begin on site next month.

The design and build agreements for NHS Grampian and NHS Highland are situated in Woodside, Forres and Tain. They have been brought together under a single project agreement for both health boards.

As a Tier 1 contractor with hub North Scotland Limited, Miller Construction has been appointed as the main contractor to deliver all three projects, with construction expected to start in the coming weeks.

Angus Macfarlane, Chief Executive, hub North Scotland Ltd, said: "We are delighted to have secured financial close on three projects in Woodside, Forres and Tain.

"This is a significant milestone for hub North Scotland as it marks the first collaborative design, build, fund and maintain project for the NHS, maximising the delivery of value for money and increasing efficiencies through joint procurement.

"Bringing together the requirements of each project and delivering them for two health boards under one contract, demonstrates the capabilities of the hub process."

Completion of the facilities is scheduled for April 2014.
