Nottingham University Hospitals Trust is reviewing its car parking contract with Carillion after the company collapsed into liquidation.
Managers for the trust, which runs Nottingham City Hospital and the Queen’s Medical Centre, said patients, visitors and staff should see no disruption to car parking despite the company’s failure.
But Andrew Chatten, the trust’s director of estates, said the contract will now have to be reviewed.
Car parking is the last service provided by the company at both hospitals following the trust’s decision to split with Carillion last year after concerns about its performance.
The firm previously supplied cleaning, security and laundry and linen services, which have since moved in-house.
The trust is in ongoing contact with Carillion staff and others to ensure services are maintained, managers said in a statement.
Andrew Chatten, Director of Estates and Facilities, said: “The trust is reviewing its contract for the future provision of car parking services following today’s announcement that Carillion has gone into liquidation.
“As we work to understand the implications of today’s development, we continue to work in partnership with the on-site Carillion management team to deliver this service and as such we can reassure patients, visitors and staff that there will be no disruption to the running of these services.
“We will provide further updates as they become available.”
Carillion went bust after losing money on public sector contracts and running up debts of around £1.5 billion.
The Government is stepping in to pay employees and small businesses working on the company’s public contracts.
Carillion is also involved in major projects such as the HS2 high-speed rail line, as well as managing schools and prisons, and employs 20,000 people in the UK.
