Plenary Group (British Columbia, Canada) has been selected from the three short-listed bidders to construct a new 225-bed long-term care facility in Swift Current (Saskatchewan, Canada). Details of the private partnership will be worked out in the coming weeks to determine the contract’s financial details and the final value for money analysis.
This will be the first public-private partnership utilized to procure a major long-term care facility in Swift Current. The Plenary Group (Canada) Ltd. proposal includes partnerships with PCL Construction Management Inc., Johnson Controls Canada Limited Partnership, and Stantec Architecture Ltd.

Plenary Group will design, build, finance, and maintain the long-term care facility and Cypress Health Region will maintain full ownership of the facility and will operate all aspects of the healthcare provided within the facility.
