Its construction is expected to commence in late 2023. CCRH is now seeking expressions of interest from the construction industry.

CCRH is a partnership between Cambridge University Hospitals, the New Hospital Programme, and the University of Cambridge to develop a new regional cancer hospital designed with input from patients.

The Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital NHS Foundation Trust director of cancer services Dr Hugo Ford said: “Design has a huge impact on the way we experience an environment and a significant impact on wellbeing, so it is essential that we get this right.”

Health Minister Maria Caulfield said: “We are determined to improve outcomes for cancer patients. The Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital has been made possible by our New Hospital Programme, backed by an initial £3.7 billion in government funding to deliver 40 new hospitals and state of the art facilities for patients and staff by 2030.”
