A £1m contract to equip the new Southmead Hospital in Bristol has been awarded to David Bailey Furniture.

Commenting on the win, Trevor Gillman, managing director of David Bailey Furniture, said: “This is terrific news. Although it is not unusual for us, a contract of such magnitude for our Healthline range of hospital furniture is excellent and to be involved in something that will deliver such an improvement on services is a great reward.

The fitted furniture will include floor-standing and wall-hung storage units, worktops and a variety of medical drugs cabinets, specifically:

• HTM71 modular storage units which are designed for the management and storage of consumables and equipment. The range includes tall units, base units, wall units, specialist cupboards, free-standing or wall-mounted units and a variety of accessories
• HTM63 storage units and worktops for theatre suites and other areas where a particularly rigid cleaning regime is required
