PFI
n Being more involved in the management of the lifecycle fund as expiry looms; Trusts need to know what they are inheriting before they inherit it.
n Understanding that where there are no handover provisions, or these fall short of the Trust’s requirements, any changes to the contract should be negotiated well in advance of contract expiry.
n Implementing contract provisions with particular focus around the correct application of the payment mechanism.
Not ‘the end of the issue’ However, reaching expiry should not be seen as the end of the issue, nor the start of a new chapter in asset ownership. If a re-procurement has taken place, there will inevitably have been some hard work in getting there. Trusts need to make sure they get what was bargained for, squeezing as much value as possible from the new contracts. If the Trusts are dealing with the new arrangements in house, it’s imperative that they are maximising their own performance and delivery, realising their ultimate goals and objectives.
It’s vital that Trusts ensure a seamless transition into the role of asset owner/ manager, and embrace the opportunities that this brings. These opportunities will help the NHS to shape and deliver the aspirations of a modern and fit-for- purpose estate that supports clinical outcomes for decades to come. Trusts will inherit assets better maintained and cared for than most of the rest of the NHS estate. While developed in the 90s, it’s now up to those Trusts to make sure that this estate fits the bill for the 21st century.
