## Summary

The Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (PHUT) has awarded a contract to Noviniti Dev Co 7 Limited for the grant of an option agreement and two ground leases for a new retail use and lecture theatre development at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth. The procurement method used was a limited tender with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 9th September 2022, and the total contract value is £13,200,000. The agreement allows Noviniti to call for the grant of the ground leases for parts of PHUT's freehold land at the Hospital, with break clauses and termination rights outlined within the agreement.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in construction work for commercial buildings, particularly those interested in development projects within the health sector. Companies with experience in retail space development and lease agreements could find this opportunity well-suited for growth. The procurement process highlights a collaboration between PHUT and Noviniti to facilitate the development of new facilities at Queen Alexandra Hospital, potentially leading to further business partnerships and lease agreements upon project completion.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

PHUT intends to enter into an option agreement and two ground leases with Noviniti Dev Co 7 Ltd ("Noviniti") in respect of a new retail use and lecture theatre and clinical space development at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth (the "Hospital"). PHUT has structured the contractual arrangements as a land transaction exempt from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016.

### Procurement Information

The subject of this notice is an agreement to be entered into between PHUT and Noviniti for the grant of an option entitling Noviniti to call for the grant of two 46 year Ground Leases of parts of PHUT's freehold land at the Hospital. The areas which will be subject to the option are defined within the Option Agreement and the option period will run for an initial period of 39 weeks (subject to extension). PHUT has had valuation advice and will grant the Ground Leases at premiums which reflects the market value. The Ground Leases anticipate that Noviniti may choose (but with no obligation to do so) to undertake a Permitted Alteration (in accordance with a Licence for Alterations that may be entered into in relation to each Ground Lease) of a retail use and lecture theatre and clinical space development at the Hospital (the "Potential Development"). Each Ground Lease is subject to break clauses in favour of PHUT if no Licence for Alterations has been issued or work on any Permitted Alterations begun at the second anniversary of the relevant Ground Lease. The Ground Leases are subject to further break clauses in favour of PHUT on the 6th anniversary if Certificates of Practical Completion have not been issued in relation to the Potential Development, and then on the 40th anniversary of practical completion of the Potential Development. The details of the Potential Development will have been agreed between PHUT and Noviniti prior to the grant of the option agreement. Noviniti has a right to terminate the Ground Leases if Noviniti has not commenced the works comprising the Potential Development by the date 52 weeks after the date of the Ground Leases. The exercise of the option by Noviniti to call for the Ground Leases does not trigger any obligation on Noviniti to undertake or on PHUT to procure the Potential Development. If Noviniti decides to undertake the Potential Development (and if PHUT subsequently so decides) Noviniti and PHUT may enter into an agreement for lease providing for the grant by Noviniti of underleases of all or part of the completed development to PHUT and/or a third party, with reversionary leases to PHUT. If that agreement is reached PHUT anticipates that PHUT, Noviniti and the third party (if applicable) will enter into further documents including an agreement for lease, two licences for alterations and underleases of the completed development.
