## Notice

Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust ("PHUT") has entered into a series of leasing agreements with Noviniti Dev Co 7 Limited ("Noviniti") in respect of a new retail use and lecture theatre and clinical space development ("the Development") at land at the Main Entrance and North Entrance at the Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth ("the Hospital") with Compass as Noviniti's initial tenant and retail operator. The contractual arrangements are structured as a land transaction exempt from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("PCR") and the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 ("CCR"). Noviniti has drawn down two 46 -year ground leases ("GL") of the site in exercise of an option agreement with PHUT. The GLs have break clauses in favour of PHUT after 2 years (so PHUT can recover the site if the Development is not commenced); after 6 years (so PHUT can recover the site if only one of the two entrances is completed) and 40 years from practical completion of the Development.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

PHUT has entered into an Agreement for Underlease in respect of the Main Entrance & North Entrance sites with Noviniti Dev Co 7 Ltd ("Noviniti") and Compass Contract Services (UK) Limited ("Compass"). Compass commits to accepting the grant of two 15 year underleases (with rent obligations to Noviniti) on practical completion ("PC") of the retail space. PHUT (as head landlord) will have insurance obligations owed to Compass and a repairing covenant for the retail space. PHUT will be required to step-in to take the underlease if Compass fails to do so on PC. PHUT must enter into an Overriding Lease (to become Compass' landlord) if Compass becomes insolvent or defaults on its Underlease, in order to maintain the rental payments to Noviniti. PHUT will enter into a 25-year Reversionary Lease (with rent obligations to Noviniti) to take effect from expiry of Compass' underlease. Some education space, research and development space and common parts will be delivered as part of the scheme.
