The Neighbourhood Health Forum was formed in November 2025 to offer a collective private sector voice to support government and the NHS in the delivery of a neighbourhood health service and the creation of new public-private-partnership (PPP) models in health. The Forum’s membership has now grown to 14 private sector organisations, representing over £10bn of health infrastructure across 1,400 health buildings.
The Forum’s latest member, Galliford Try, is a FTSE 250 leading construction group employing 4,300 people across the UK. Over the past 15 years, Galliford Try has delivered over 327,000m2 of healthcare construction projects across England and Scotland, and is a long-term Principal Supply Chain Partner for the ProCure23 framework, the leading procurement method for major capital projects within the NHS.
Chair of the Neighbourhood Health Forum, Sarah Beaumont-Smith, said: “Welcoming Galliford Try as our latest member is another huge boost to the Neighbourhood Health Forum, and underlines the unrivalled experience and track record we can offer in neighbourhood health delivery. The private sector will have a vital role to play in the government’s health plans, and our members stand ready to help shape this important new chapter for the NHS.”
Laura Hodgetts, healthcare director for Galliford Try, said: “We are delighted to become a member of the Neighbourhood Health Forum and join a network of private sector organisations committed to improving health and wellbeing across our communities. This membership provides an excellent opportunity to collaborate with peers, share best practice, and contribute to important conversations shaping the future of neighbourhood and community health. We look forward to working with fellow members to drive positive outcomes and make a meaningful difference together.”
