Facts and figures

  • Leeds Partnerships NHS Foundation Trust provides specialist mental health and learning disability services to over 619,710 adults within the Leeds metropolitan boundary - each day providing help to over 2,000 people

Interserve was selected to design, finance, construct and operate two new build units for the elderly.

Both units, a 20,613m² facility at Millside and Towngate House, a 14,531m² building, opened in September 1998. Millside underwent a refurbishment in 2008 and it now includes a 17-bed adult mental health inpatient unit and it also offers outpatient older people's services, national research ethics service and QIL Directorate. Towngate House is currently undergoing refurbishment to facilitate an 18-bed adult mental health inpatient unit due to open in July 2011 as well as outpatient older people's services to operate on the ground and first floors.

Leeds PFT consists of maintaining seven buildings across seven sites within the Leeds area, providing a range of mental health facilities to Leeds Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT). Interserve provides services to the following seven hospital buildings:

  • The Newsam Centre, an 84 outpatient bed, acute mental health unit located on the Seacroft Hospital site
  • The Mount, a 96-bed facility catering for the over 65's and with a dedicated parent and child unit
  • The Becklin Centre, a new, purpose-built, 94-bed, three-storey building offering an in-patient and outpatient service for the 18 to 65 age group
  • Asket House, a 16-bed, purpose-built, two-storey building providing single bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, providing a continuing treatment and recovery service for adults from 18 to 65
  • Asket Croft, a purpose-built, two-storey building with 20 single bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms providing an inpatient and day treatment service for people over the age of 65
  • Little Woodhouse Hall, a 13-bed unit, located at Clarendon Road, Leeds, providing inpatient and day treatment services for children and adolescents with mental health problems
  • Parkside Lodge, a 12-bed learning disability unit in Armley, Leeds providing an inpatient service and an associated community team as well as housing an outpatient service

Our relationship with the Trust was first identified as PFI contract, as cost and location of the new build were paramount. This style of PFI partnership was one of the first of its kind.
