Mark Gardham, Regional Director at Interserve Construction, said: "Our appointment to the Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust's construction framework and the award of the first project at Roseberry Park Hospital highlight our capabilities in delivering first-class healthcare facilities not only in the North East of England but across the UK. We are delighted to be working with the Trust to deliver this new ward and refurbishment works to help improve the patient experience.

"Interserve has completed more than 100 construction projects in the health sector in the UK in the past ten years. And our appointment to carry out refurbishment work on Roseberry Park Hospital follows our recent success in securing a £20m contract with St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in South London."

This project also represents the first contract to be awarded through the new £100m framework.
