The deal means that Carillion can develop a dedicated health PFI sector, Carillion Health, to bring together key bidding parts.
Carillion Health has won the £600m Oxford Radcliffe Infirmary PPP project and a similar £800m health care scheme in Ontario, Canada.
Carillion saw off competition for the Portsmouth project from two consortiums: Key Health, comprising Alfred McAlpine, Emcor Drake & Scull and Sodexho; and Summit Healthcare, made up of Sir Robert McAlpine, Amec and Interserve.
