The Hub South East Scotland Programme involves local public sector organisations working collaboratively and in partnership with a private sector development partner, SPACE, in a joint venture company, Hub South East Scotland Limited.
- Community Facilities
Hub South East Scotland was created to facilitate a sustained programme of enhanced local service improvements through increasing joint service working and integration between Health Boards, Local Authorities, Community Planning Partnerships and the emergency service organisations.
- The Territory
The Hub South East Territory covers the Lothians and Borders and is one of five territories established in Scotland to deliver the Hub programme.
- Projects
Hub South East Scotland is committed to providing partnership solutions that seek to address the current issues preventing the consistent delivery of joint working facilities.
- Supply Chain
Hub South East Scotland will regularly review the suitability of supply chain members to provide services in relation to each project taking into account the availability of resources and the ability to provide satisfactory performance management, continuous improvement and appropriate levels of service throughout the development and delivery of projects.
- Community Benefits
Hub South East Scotland will support training and apprenticeships through traditional apprenticeships, adult apprenticeships, technical and professional training targets will be set for the number of positions to be provided through each project in liaison with the Lead Participant.

BackLauder Health Centre
Lead Partner: NHS Borders
Value: £1.3 million
Tier 1 Contractor: Morrison Construction
The new Lauder Health centre replaces the previous facilities in the town. It provides a purpose built facility suitable for modern health care and will allow expansion and development of local health services in the years to come.
This project was bid by Hubco’s Tier 1 contractors as part of a bundle with a Scottish Ambulance Service facility and Galashiels Health centre. The rationale for bringing these three projects together was to ensure that the best market rates were achieved and that the opportunities for local training and employment were maximised over a longer period.
Supporting innovative solutions to increase local employment and SME participation:
An innovative solution was developed, to ensure that local training and employment was retained and where possible extended. The proposal was to enter into a Joint Venture (JV) with local contractor, Borders Construction. The local contractor would deliver the facilities on the Tier 1’s behalf, the Tier 1 then only managing the process. This proposal was accepted by Hubco and the JV will progress the other two projects in line with client’s programmes.
This project has guaranteed the retention and development of local employment during the construction across all three projects. The delivery, by a locally based SME, demonstrates Hubco’s commitment to ensuring local people directly benefit from the investments happening in their area.
