The Request for Proposals (RFP) stage has closed for the Trillium Health Partners (THP) long-term redevelopment project which also includes the Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital. The new hospital will feature modern hospital facilities and technology that reflect the latest standards in infection prevention and control.
EllisDon + PCL Health Care Partners submitted a proposal by the September 30th deadline, following a two-phase RFP process that began in April 2022.
The new Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital will include:
- Full replacement of existing hospital site, creating a modern health care facility to meet the growing and changing health care needs of this community
- New and expanded emergency department - creating one of the largest emergency departments in the province
- Surgical platform that provides flexibility to adapt to changing patient needs and new technologies, including an increase in the number of surgical operating rooms with specialized equipment and advanced imaging systems
- New advanced diagnostic imaging facilities
- New pharmacy and clinical laboratory
- New parking structure
According to Ontario Construction News, the hospital will be 24 storeys tall which is almost triple the size of the current hospital and will be 2.8 million square feet. It will also feature:
- Over 950 beds
- 80 percent private rooms
- 23 operating rooms
The project is being procured using a new progressive public-private partnership approach, with a Development Phase Agreement and a design-build-finance-maintain P3 Project Agreement.
Upon completion of the Development Phase in 2024, it is expected that a fixed-price project agreement will be signed to design, build, finance and maintain the project.
ReNew Canada reports that this project will result in a modern dedicated centre for complex care and rehabilitation services, where patients can receive care and recover in a purpose-built environment. The project will also include:
- Construction of a new patient tower
- Parkade and Central Utility Plant
- Redevelopment of other facilities required for the hospital
Infrastructure Ontario states that over the next 20 years, the demand for health care services offered by Trillium Health Partners is expected to increase by nearly seven times more than the average hospital in Ontario. Due to this anticipated growth, the new Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital will fully replace the existing Mississauga Hospital and improve access to care for patients and families in the region for generations to come.
