Developer Bid Deadline Announced For Glasgow Hospital Site

Construction News Image
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) has announced the closing date for developers to bid on a former hospital site in Glasgow.

The closing date has been set for 10 March 2016.

NHSGGC said it expects 'strong developer-led' interest in the 9.5 acre former Victoria Hospital.

The site was declared surplus to requirements when services were successfully transferred to the new Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in May 2015.

It is understood developers will be required to outline their proposals for engaging with the community through the planning process and beyond.

Glasgow City Council have confirmed that when plans for the site are submitted they will be subject to pre-submission consultation.

David Loudon, NHSGGC's Director of Facilities and Capital Planning, said: "The Board commenced marketing the site last October and have had a good response from the development industry.

"We now want to convert this interest into a firm sale and ensure this site is brought back into use for the local community sooner rather than later.

"We are in complete agreement with the community that the worst possible outcome would be for this key site to lie vacant and derelict. Therefore, we have asked developers to come forward with high quality proposals that they believe can be implemented.

"These proposals will then be subject to detailed scrutiny to ensure we achieve the best possible outcome for the local community and the public purse."
