Supporting NHS trusts, schools and colleges with buildings expertise for operational PFI projects
A good deal of the built environment investment across a wide range of public sectors – including health, education, highways, housing and custodial - has been secured by Public Private Partnerships (PPP) as a result of the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and Private Finance 2 (PF2). As a result, the NHS alone has more than 100 PFI hospitals with a total capital cost in excess of £11billion.
Ensuring those projects are compliant and were delivered to agreed standards is a complex and specialist area. Which is where we can help - we provide expertise and audit services to NHS Trusts and the education sector on the performance of private sector partners, to allow them to meet their contractual obligations and to provide knowledge and supporting evidence where services aren’t delivered to the standards set out in the contract.
We report on the condition of public buildings, review the compliance status and challenge the performance of lifecycle replacement expenditure, maintenance and management services. Our experienced professionals operate on your premises or sites. We can challenge and receive refund from PFI contractors due to lack of lifecycle spend and to cover remediation for sub-standard construction work.
