East Ayrshire Community Hospital
East Ayrshire Community Hospital in Cumnock was designed to provide a warm, domestic environment for patients - far removed from the institutional character of older healthcare buildings. The hospital provides 50 continuing care and respite beds, 24 GP acute beds and a 24-place day hospital serving up to 28,000 outpatients. Invesis led the project from financial close in 1999, completing the full 25-year concession and handing back to NHS Ayrshire and Arran in 2025.

Completing a 25-year healthcare partnership and handing back to NHS Ayrshire and Arran
East Ayrshire needed a modern community hospital bringing together primary and secondary healthcare services for the population of Cumnock and the surrounding area. In 1999, Invesis was appointed as sole investor under a 25-year PFI contract, with BAM Construction delivering the 6,900m2 hospital four months ahead of schedule in August 2000.
The hospital provides 50 continuing care and respite beds, 24 GP medium acute beds, a 24-place day hospital and capacity for up to 28,000 outpatients annually, alongside cafe and community facilities. Designed to create a domestic rather than institutional atmosphere, it offers a more welcoming environment for patients and visitors. BAM FM delivered a full range of managed services throughout the concession.
Invesis completed the full 25-year concession, with the facility subsequently acquired by NHS Ayrshire and Arran in 2021 - reflecting the enduring quality and value of the partnership.
