two.1.4) Short 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.

SFT intends to enter into the Project Agreement with SEPP and the Underlease and Reversionary Lease with the funder.
