Description
Following an advertised procurement process, Somerset Foundation Trust (SFT) has previously appointed a Strategic Estates Partner, Somerset Estates Partnership Project Co (SEPP) in relation to the strategic development of the Yeovil District Hospital site. In line with that appointment, SFT intends to instruct SEPP to deliver a facility with space for a community diagnostics centre and additional clinical space for SFT’s use. The documents to be executed by SFT comprise a Project Agreement with SEPP, a 125 year Headlease with the funder and an Underlease for the clinical space to be occupied by SFT. InHealth will enter into a 15 year Underlease in respect of the CDC and SFT will enter into a 15 year reversionary lease of the 15 years immediately following expiry of the InHealth lease. The contractual arrangements reflect the opportunity to deliver new projects which was set out in the original procurement of the Strategic Estates Partner and therefore the arrangement falls within the scope of what was previously advertised.
Total Quantity or Scope
SFT intends to enter into the Project Agreement with SEPP and the Underlease and Reversionary Lease with the funder. Under the Project Agreement SEPP has the right to undertake the works to deliver the CDC and additional clinical facilities as approved by SFT through the project approval procedure under the Strategic Estates Partnership Agreement. SFT will be obliged to accept the Underlease of the clinical space and the Reversionary Lease of the CDC space on practical completion of the works. As set out in the original procurement of the Strategy Estates Partner, SEPP will be required to procure the necessary works as if these are covered by the PCR, which may include calling off works under existing public sector frameworks on behalf of SFT. As envisaged under the original procurement of the Strategic Estates Partner, SEPP may carry out these works through its approved delivery partner, Prime Infrastructure Management Services 3 Limited in line with the MSA entered into as part of the original procurement. To facilitate the delivery of the project, the parties intend to enter into a novation of the Project Agreement, with Prime Infrastructure Management Services 3 Limited taking over the delivery obligations under the Project Agreement from SEPP.

Indicators
Legal Justification
The opportunity awarded to SEPP is to deliver and manage the construction of the new facility. In instructing SEPP to do so, SFT followed the New Process Approval Procedure set out in the Strategic Estates Partnership Agreement. This approach was advertised as part of the original procurement of the Strategic Estates Partnership and so forms part of the operation of that original opportunity. As indicated in the original procurement, SEPP is required to procure the construction works as if these were covered by the PCR. This includes the use of existing frameworks on behalf of SFT.
