Executive Summary

A new £35 million Care Village is under construction at Stirling Community Hospital. This modern, purpose-built facility will revolutionise healthcare provision in the region by bringing together five General Practices and a range of community health and social care services under one roof. The project is a collaborative effort between Stirling Council, NHS Forth Valley and the Scottish Ambulance Service, delivered through hub East Central Scotland. OCS has been appointed to deliver both the M&E infrastructure and long-term Hard FM and Lifecycle Services.
