About Community Health Partnerships

Community Health Partnerships is a Department of Health and Social Care-owned company. Incorporated in 2001, we set out to improve community-based health and social care services by working to improve the NHS estate through public private partnerships established through the NHS Local Improvement Finance Trust (LIFT) programme. Through these joint ventures and working on behalf of the NHS we designed, built, financed and operate a portfolio of over 300 properties. These health facilities provide high quality spaces for health and social care services delivered in local communities, especially in areas of high need.

In 2013 CHP was given Head Tenant responsibilities for 308 properties passed over from the former Primary Care Trusts (PCT). CHP has Head Tenant responsibilities in 308 properties.  We manage the buildings on behalf of the NHS, through our property and operational team. We lease space to over 1300 health and care providers who support tens of millions of patients and service users.

CHP has a unique set of skills and experience in primary and community care infrastructure development, property management and investment portfolio management.

We are a Company with a diverse and distributed workforce with regional offices in Manchester, London and Birmingham. Our 308 LIFT properties comprise 5% of the NHS estate portfolio.

Our five year strategy sets out our ambitions and direction of travel to 2028. Our focus will be on securing the future of the LIFT portfolio as core assets, working with partners and customers to identify the strategic need for the buildings, positioning them as key local cornerstones of place-based care and embedding them within ICS infrastructure strategies. Maximising their use will be critical, and will be underpinned by their quality, value and adaptability.
