## Notice

Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust ("WWL") intends to enter an option agreement ("Option Agreement") with Noviniti Dev Co 13 Limited ("Noviniti") leading to the grant by WWL of a ground lease to Noviniti in respect of land at Freckleton Street by Royal Albert Edward Infirmary ("the Hospital") ("the Site"). The Site is intended to be the location of a new multi-storey car park development ("the Potential Development") for the benefit of the Hospital. The contractual arrangements are structured as a land transaction, which do not satisfy the definition of a "public works contract" and are exempt from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("PCR") and the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 ("CCR") ("the Regulations").

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Contract which is the subject of this Notice is the Option Agreement to be granted by WWL to Noviniti for an initial period of 39 weeks (extendable by agreement between the parties) pursuant to which Noviniti may call for the grant of a ground lease ("Ground Lease") over the Site at the Hospital. If granted the Ground Lease will be for a term of 40 years and will be granted at a premium determined by external valuation of market value.

The Ground Lease will contain a definition of "Permitted Alterations" which describes the Potential Development. It will contain no development obligation on Noviniti but will contain a break clause in favour of WWL exercisable in the event that Noviniti has not received permission to undertake the Permitted Alteration and has not commenced the Potential Development within 2 years of the date of grant of the Ground Lease.

WWL have structured the contractual arrangements as a land transaction which do not satisfy the definition of a public works contract for the purposes of the Regulations and are exempt from the Regulations. Additional information: Explanation: (2500 characters with spaces)
The subject of this notice is the Option Agreement entitling Noviniti to call for the grant of a 40 year Ground Lease of the Site at the Hospital. 

The Site is defined within the Option Agreement and the option period will run for an initial period of 39 weeks (subject to extension). WWL has had valuation advice and will grant the Ground Lease at a premium determined by external valuation of market value. 

The Ground Lease anticipates that Noviniti may choose (but with no obligation to do so) to undertake the Permitted Alteration which constitutes the Potential Development (in accordance with a Licence for Alterations that may be entered into in relation to the Ground Lease). The Ground Lease is subject to a break clause in favour of WWL if no Licence for Alterations has been issued and work on any Permitted Alteration begun before the date which is 2 years after the date of grant of the Ground Lease. The Ground Lease is subject to further break clauses in favour of WWL (and Noviniti) on the 35th anniversary of practical completion of the Potential Development. 

The details of the Potential Development will have been agreed between WWL and Noviniti prior to the grant of the Option Agreement. Noviniti will have the right to terminate the Ground Lease if Noviniti has not commenced the works comprising the Potential Development by the date 52 weeks after the date of the Ground Lease. 

The exercise of the option by Noviniti to call for the Ground Lease does not trigger any obligation on Noviniti to undertake or on WWL to procure the Potential Development. 

(Whilst there is no contractual obligation upon either party within the Option Agreement or the Ground Lease), if WWL chooses to do so, it is anticipated that Noviniti and WWL would enter into an agreement for lease providing for the execution of the Potential Development and the grant by Noviniti of an underlease of the completed Potential Development to a third party. It is anticipated that the agreement for lease would contain provision for the grant of further leases (including potentially a reversionary underlease of the Potential Development in favour of WWL taking effect from the date of expiry of the third party operator lease and for the remainder of the Ground Lease term).
