What I do
My main areas of focus are the education, health and key
worker accommodation sectors. I have acted for authorities,
contractors and funders and also worked with central
government on standardisation of PPP documents. I am
predominantly occupied with the Building Schools For The
Future (BSF) Initiative and working in the nascent Canadian P3
market.
Some examples
I am advising Partnerships for Schools, the joint venture
between Partnerships UK (PUK) and the Department of Education and
Skills, on the BSF initiative, working up standard
documentation and advising local pathfinders on the pilot
schemes.
I advised Bristol City Council on the first BSF project to
achieve financial close.
I am advising Partnerships British Columbia on the
negotiations with the preferred bidder on the Abbotsford
Hospital project, the most significant P3 to date in Canada.
I advised on the largest variation of an existing PFI
contract to date, to provide a new treatment centre at the
Great Western Hospital, Swindon.
I advised Bristol City Council on its grouped schools PFI
scheme involving four secondary schools.
I have advised both public sector and
private sector participants on LIFT schemes which have
successfully reached financial close. I also advised the
Department of Health and PUK on the
original structuring and standard documentation for LIFT.
I advised the Newbury and Thatcham Hospital Building Trust,
a charitable SPV on a scheme to provide a new community
hospital for the locality.
I advised The Royal Bank of Scotland on the funding of a
scheme to provide a new community hospital at Sedgefield in
South Durham. This was one of the first deals to close using
the NHS standard form and one of the first not to include
soft services.
I advised the Isle of Man Government on the procurement,
negotiation and award of a DBO contract for the design,
build, operation and maintenance of a new integrated
incineration (energy from waste) facility for the island.
I have advised on residential accommodation schemes which
have successfully closed in Swindon, Gloucester and Cardiff.
