Contract Awarded for New Maternity and Children’s Ward at Hospital in France

The Réunion University Hospital has awarded the contract for the design, construction, fitting out, upkeep and maintenance of the future Bâtiment Femme Parent Enfant in France to a consortium led by Demathieu Bard Construction, with GTOI (a subsidiary of the Colas/Bouygues Group) as a co-contractor, along with architectural consultancy SCAU and engineering consultancy Artelia. Funded by the State, the Réunion Regional Authority (notably through ERDF funds) and the university hospital, the aim of this project is to bring activities together under one roof that are spread across several facilities no longer fit for purpose.

The future BFPE will cover approximately 26,400 square meters on nine floors, and will accommodate more than 200 beds and spaces. It will bring together the departments dedicated to women’s health, maternity care and pediatrics, including gynecology, obstetrics, pediatric A&E, neonatology and critical care. The project involves up-to-date technical facilities, streamlined clinical pathways and optimized logistical, medical and patient flows, with a view to improving the coordination of patient care and comfort.

Structural work is due to begin in mid-2026, with commissioning scheduled for late 2029.

Operating for many years in Réunion and, more broadly, across the Indian Ocean, GTOI will assign its teams and local partners to carry out this complex project in full compliance with quality and safety standards. This project is worth nearly €140 million, of which around €50 million is for GTOI.
