TWO companies competing for the contract to build the new £288m Alder Hey Children's Health Park in Liverpool have produced 'absolutely outstanding' designs according to the project team. Balfour Beatty and Laing O'Rourke will continue to work with Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust over the next four months before a decision is made about the winner. Louise Shepherd, chief executive of the trust, said: "We shall then be in a position to share the plans widely with our patients and families and the people of Merseyside and, subject to agreeing final planning issues with Liverpool County Council, plan to start work on-site at the end of 2012."
