Lymington Hospital

This Community Hospital provides two operating theatres and 99 inpatient bed spaces with a large proportion being single rooms, spread over rehabilitation, surgical and medical wards.

The hospital is across two and three storeys, with a 12,000m² floor area, incorporating DTC, EAU and MIU areas, two operating theatres, two endoscopy suites, imaging suites and audiology suites. 

Since service commencement in 2006, Rydon Maintenance provides Hard Facilities Management services at the hospital to its client Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust (formerly known as Hampshire Primary Care Trust), incorporating Planned Preventative and Reactive Maintenance.

The following services are being provided by Rydon Maintenance under the Hard FM contract:

Within the Annual Service Cost we have taken the risk of all damage by Trust parties patient’s, staff and any other third parties damage, including visitors.   

Operationally, the hospital is challenging due to its service provision and high degrees of occupancy. These challenges are overcome by forging close working relationships and good communication with the Trust to foster an ‘open book’ approach with the Trust, Project Co and other parties.
