A preferred bidder has been selected to deliver the $605 million Frankston Hospital project and will now enter into exclusive negotiation with the Victorian Government.

The Exemplar Health consortium was named as preferred bidder and is made up of Capella Capital as sponsor, Lendlease Building Contractors as builder and Honeywell Limited and Compass Group Healthcare Hospitality Services as facilities and maintenance managers.

The redevelopment is being delivered as a public private partnership, which involves bringing together a private consortium to design, construct, finance and maintain the new facility for a period of 25 years. Frankston Hospital will remain a public hospital, with all clinical healthcare services operated by Peninsula Health.

Construction is expected to start in the first half of this year – with the redevelopment creating up to 1,700 jobs at the peak of construction and in future healthcare opportunities.

Victorian Health Building Authority (VHBA) CEO Rob Fiske said the State Government will now negotiate solely with Exemplar Health towards contract award.

“The Frankston Hospital redevelopment will deliver a world-class facility for local families, doctors, nurses and healthcare workers and we’re doing everything we can to get construction underway as soon as possible,” Fiske said.

The Frankston Hospital redevelopment aims to deliver a new clinical services tower and main entrance, capacity for 120 more beds, new operating theatres and dedicated spaces for improved mental health and oncology services.

An expansion of women’s and children’s services will include new maternity, obstetrics and paediatric wards, a women’s clinic, and a special care nursery.

The redevelopment will also deliver a multi-storey car park and two state-wide emergency department initiatives: a five-bed emergency department mental health, alcohol and other drugs hub and a dedicated paediatric zone.

Overseen by the VHBA, construction of the main works is expected to be complete in 2025.
