Deal will see construction of new cancer information centre


Construction company, Stepnell, has won a £250,000 contract to build a new Macmillan Cancer Support information centre at Leicester Royal Infirmary.

The deal with University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust is for a single-storey extension to the undercroft area next to the Osborne Building entrance to create a drop-in centre which will provide a wide range of information and support services for people affected by cancer.

The centre is due to be completed in May and the contract also includes the creation of a new fenced-off paved area plus a turfed area and decking.

Stepnell managing director, Mark Wakeford, said: “Our team has strong expertise in delivering high-quality new buildings in healthcare settings and of working efficiently and sensitively in ‘live’ environments. We are excited to be working with University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust to create this new home for the Macmillan information centre.”
