Capita Symonds is one of the UK’s largest, multifaceted consultancies delivering property and infrastructure projects on a local, national and international scale. Our core services span the full range of design, architecture, engineering, planning, surveying and management consultancy.
We provide property, estates and facilities management services that deliver efficient, safe and sustainable healthcare environments. We have unrivalled knowledge of the NHS, as well as experience in leading work on high profile programmes and projects. Our innovative solutions deliver cash savings, efficiency savings and reduce expenditure enabling investments to be made in the frontline to improve patient experience whilst reducing the cost of service delivery.
Our services focus on four key areas:
Programme and project management
Our health team has extensive experience of delivering a wide variety of projects to the NHS and wider Government. We deliver intricate, highly specified and complex projects from within the heart of an active hospital or the political environment of a government department, through to high value, high profile megaprojects. This experience enables us to bring knowledge and understanding of lessons learnt and best practice tools and techniques to every project and programme.
Property and estate optimisation
We are a leading NHS property services provider, experienced in acquiring, managing and disposing of NHS property. We support NHS and partner consortiums in providing a range of products and services from full assurance reviews (including benchmarking against the private and public sector) options and models for future delivery, and the provision of full estate management solutions.
Operational efficiency
Efficiency savings are high on the agenda, alongside ensuring services provided are safe and sustainable into the future. Inventures, part of Capita Symonds since 2010, provides advice to over 125 NHS organisations, helping them to manage their projects and reduce their costs.
By rationalising change, risk can be managed and effectively mitigated while ensuring maximum efficiency and value for money. Inventures adds value to this process through unique insight gained operating within the private and public sector.
Safe and secure environments
The physical environment is an important factor in the patient and care experience. An effective and well-run building will help ensure that patients, clients, staff and visitors are safe and comfortable. Management of buildings, land, plant and non medical equipment has to be set in this context.
The regulation and oversight of healthcare in England is complex with many bodies having responsibilities for the regulation, inspection or oversight that directly affect NHS organisations. We understand clients’ statutory obligations and support Trusts in delivering and efficient service that is safe and secure.
