Prêmios MPBA 2026

These nominations reflect the scale, speed and quality of Vanguard’s work across the NHS, supporting healthcare providers to maintain and enhance patient care during periods of both planned transformation and unexpected disruption.

Recognised for rapid response and clinical impact

Two of the shortlistings highlight Vanguard’s work with Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, following a critical infrastructure incident at Princess of Wales Hospital.

In response, Q-bital delivered a rapid, end-to-end solution to restore vital services. Within just six weeks, a fully operational endoscopy complex was opened, followed by a four-room surgical suite within nine weeks. These facilities enabled the health board to quickly reinstate diagnostic and surgical capacity, supporting recovery efforts and helping to address waiting lists.

This project has been shortlisted in the following categories:

• Best Temporary Building Project – Public Sector (Healthcare)
• Project of the Year – Healthcare (Secondary/Tertiary)

Supporting community-based diagnostics in Swindon

Q-bital has also been shortlisted for Project of the Year – Healthcare (Primary Care) for its work delivering a Community Diagnostic Centre in Swindon, in partnership with Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

The facility has been designed to bring essential diagnostic services closer to patients, reducing pressure on acute hospital sites while improving access, patient flow and overall experience. It demonstrates how flexible, modular infrastructure can support key NHS priorities, including earlier diagnosis and the shift towards community-based care.

Demonstrating breadth of capability

Together, these nominations showcase the breadth of Vanguard’s expertise — from rapid-response temporary solutions to strategically planned healthcare facilities that support long-term transformation.

Mark Fox, MD (Modular) commented:

“These shortlistings reflect the dedication and expertise of our teams, and the trust our NHS partners place in us. Whether responding to urgent challenges or supporting long-term service transformation, our focus remains on delivering high-quality, clinically ready facilities that make a real difference for patients and staff.”
