Withdraw from bid of Bovis-led Catalyst Consortium leads Carillion and Skanska as remaining bidders

Bovis Lend Lease has dropped out of the Southmead PFI hospital bid in Bristol.

The Bovis led-Catalyst consortium withdrew its bidding application due to unsatisfactory design plans.

A pokesperson for the Catalayst consortium at Bovis Lend Lease told 黑洞社区 the design wasn鈥檛 sufficiently developed to continue the bid.

He said: 鈥淲e have been in the business long enough to be pragmatic about bidding, so we took the commercial decision to withdraw.鈥

The project will redevelop Bristol鈥檚 Southmead hospital into the country鈥檚 first PFI clinic.

Bovis鈥 withdrawal leaves Carillion and Skanska as bidders for the project, which is due to finish in 2013.
