Published justification

Following on from the Option Agreement between WWL, Noviniti and CPP on 18.09.24 (S1OA) pursuant to which the GL was granted by WWL to Noviniti on 17.12.24 of the site of the new car park works for a term of years expiring 16 December 2064, WWL entered into the S2AFL, the LfA, the DOVSR (and the replacement extended GL) and the DoC. The S1OA to grant the GL was the subject of a VEAT Notice published on 8 July 2024 with reference 2024/S 000-020762 and the S2AFL was the subject of a further VEAT Notice published on 24 December 2024 with reference 2024/S 000-041526.

The S2AFL does not oblige Noviniti to carry out the MSCPD but if it does not, WWL has the right to break the GL if Noviniti does not commence works by an agreed deadline. WWL agreed as part of the arrangements, to underwrite certain costs in the event that WWL did not sign up to its commitments under the S2AFL. The obligations to underwrite costs fall away on completion of the S2AFL.

Under the S2AFL, if Noviniti completes the MSCPD it may require CPP to accept the Operator Lease which comprises the whole of the MSCPD for a term of 15 years, and for WWL to accept a Reversionary Lease of the MSCPD for a term of 25 years commencing on the date of expiry of the Operator Lease.

WWL will be obliged to accept a direct lease from Noviniti if CPP defaults before completion of the MSCPD and will be obliged to accept an Overriding Lease to become direct tenant of Noviniti if CPP defaults during the term of the Operator Lease.

WWL and CPP will enter into the DoC on the date of grant of the Operator Lease. WWL considers that if the arrangement with CPP is a services concession, it is incidental to the main purpose of the arrangement and would be below the value threshold in the CCR2016.

Noviniti is under no obligation to serve notice to elect to undertake the MSCPD. No public works contract arises due to the lack of an enforceable obligation.

Noviniti and WWL may enter into a "Works Agreement" for Noviniti to manage the execution of additional WWL construction works on adjacent WWL land with WWL making a payment to Noviniti of up to £450k towards the cost of those works. As with the MSCPD under the S2AFL the Works Agreement will not oblige Noviniti to undertake those works but the works will not be separable from the MSCPD works.

WWL considers that the arrangements fall within the land exemption under Regulation 10(1)(a) of the PCR2015 and/or 10(11)(a) of the CCR2016. In addition, following the grant of the GL, Noviniti has the exclusive right to undertake the MSCPD until such time as the WWL break right under the GL becomes capable of exercise. As a result, Noviniti is the only developer that WWL is able to contract with by virtue of Noviniti's exclusive rights as provided for by Regulation 32 of the PCR2015.
