Published justification

Following on from the Agreement for Lease dated 24 March 2023 entered into between SWFT and Noviniti (S1AFL) relating to the grant to Noviniti of a lease of the site of the GFD for a term of 45 years (the Noviniti Lease), SWFT proposes to enter into the S2AFL and the LTA. Completion of the Noviniti Lease took place on 6 November 2023. The S1AFL was the subject of a VEAT Notice published on 19 January 2023 and the S2AFL was the subject of a further VEAT Notice published on 8 November 2023 with reference 2023/S 000-033015. Under the S2AFL Noviniti is not obliged to undertake the GFD but if it does not, SWFT may terminate the Noviniti Lease. The Noviniti Lease contains a break right in favour of SWFT if Noviniti does not commence the GFD by an agreed deadline. <br/>If Noviniti completes the construction of the GFD, Noviniti may call for Compass and the Guarantor to accept the two Operator Leases which in aggregate comprise the whole of the GFD for a term of 40 years with a break right for Compass at 15 years and further specified points. In the event that Compass exercises its break right SWFT will accept Occupational Leases of those areas for the remainder of the term. The Trust will also enter into a Deed of Guarantee in favour of Noviniti’s funder in respect of the obligations under the Operator Leases.<br/>There is provision for SWFT to accept direct leases from Noviniti of the GFD in place of the two Operator Leases if Compass defaults and also for SWFT to accept Overriding Leases to become the direct tenant of Noviniti if Compass defaults during the term of the Operator Leases.<br/>Following completion of the Operator Leases, Compass will grant SWFT 3 sub-leases of areas of the GFD being the whole of the GFD other than the retail areas to be occupied and operated by Compass (and to include the common parts and structure of the GFD).<br/>At completion, Noviniti and SWFT will execute a deed of variation surrendering the airspace above the completed GFD. That will permit SWFT to undertake a 2 storey development of hospital wards and administration space to be sited directly above the GFD ("UFD"). SWFT is not required to undertake the UFD but the documents enable SWFT to do so.<br/>At completion, SWFT and Compass may enter into a Deed of Covenant under which turnover rent is payable to the Trust and the Trust commits to support the rent payable by Compass in certain instances.<br/>Noviniti is under no obligation to serve notice to elect to carry out the GFD. No public works contract arises due to the lack of an enforceable obligation.<br/>Following completion of the Noviniti Lease Noviniti has the exclusive right to undertake the GFD until such time as the SWFT break right under the Noviniti Lease becomes capable of exercise.<br/>SWFT considers that the arrangements fall within the land exemption under Regulation 10(1)(a) PCR and/or regulation 10(11)(a) CCR
