Following completion of the works Noviniti will grant an Operator Lease to CP Plus. UHDB will be obliged to accept a lease of the car park directly from Noviniti if CP Plus defaults.

Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations
Explanation:
Following on from the grant of the Ground Lease dated 15 November 2023, relating to the grant to Noviniti of a 45 years Ground Lease of part of UHDB's freehold land at the Hospital, UHDB proposes to enter into the S2AFL and a Licence for Alterations. The option to grant the Ground Lease was the subject of a VEAT Notice published on 21 September 2023. The Licence for Alterations describes the permitted works. Under the S2AFL Noviniti is not obliged to carry out any works but if it does not, UHDB may terminate the Ground Lease, which contains a break right for UHDB if Noviniti does not commence any works by an agreed deadline.
If Noviniti completes the construction of the car park works it may call for CP Plus to accept the Operator Lease for a term of 15 years and for UHDB to accept a Reversionary Lease of the car park for a further term of 30 years.
There is provision for UHDB to accept a direct lease from Noviniti of the car park in place of the Operator Lease if CP Plus defaults and also for UHDB to accept an Overriding Lease to become the direct tenant of Noviniti if CP Plus defaults during the term of the Operator Lease.
At completion, UHDB and CP Plus may enter into a Deed of Covenant under which surplus car parking revenue will be payable to UHDB and UHDB commits to support the rent payable by CP Plus in certain instances. UHDB considers that if the arrangement with CP Plus is a services concession, the value would be below the threshold set out in the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016.
Noviniti is under no obligation to serve notice to elect to carry out any works. No public works contract arises due to the lack of an enforceable obligation and Noviniti is entitled to "walk away" without delivering any works.
Following completion of the Ground Lease, Noviniti has an exclusive right to undertake any works until such time as the UHDB break right under the Ground Lease becomes capable of exercise.
UHDB considers that the arrangements fall within the land exemption under Regulation 10(1)(a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and/or 10(11)(a) of the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016.
