Through close collaboration between Ergéa UK, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and building partner Actiform, the project has been delivered on time, on budget and at exceptional speed.

Using modern methods of construction, the building works were completed between January and March 2026. Diagnostic equipment was installed by early April, allowing commissioning and final preparations to proceed efficiently ahead of completion.

The facility officially achieved practical completion on 12 June 2026, marking a major milestone in Somerset’s long-term diagnostic transformation strategy.

David Craig, CDC director for Somerset, commented: 'This milestone also marks the successful conclusion of Somerset’s Diagnostic Transformation Programme. I am incredibly proud of what the team has achieved and, most importantly, of the impact it will have for local people. Through the programme, we have delivered an additional 877,608 diagnostic tests for the population of Somerset.'

Mark Graves, CEO of Ergéa UK, said: 'The Bridgwater Community Diagnostic Centre highlights what can be achieved when healthcare providers and industry partners work together with a shared vision. We are proud to have supported Somerset NHS Foundation Trust in delivering a modern, high-quality facility that will enhance the patient experience and help relieve pressure on acute hospital sites.'

The project also demonstrates the strengths of Ergéa UK’s Managed Equipment Services model, combining infrastructure delivery, medical technology procurement, equipment installation and lifecycle management within a single integrated solution.
