The documents to be executed by SWFT comprise a Principal Agreement for Underleases ("S2AFL") and a Licence for Alterations ("LTA") to be granted to Noviniti to permit Noviniti to undertake the GFD . The completed building will be leased to Compass for retail purposes with the remainder of the ground floor (together with the building structure) being underlet to SWFT. The contractual arrangements are structured as a land transaction exempt from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016. Lot 1: SWFT intends to enter into the S2AFL with Noviniti, Compass and the Guarantor and the LTA with Noviniti. Under the S2AFL and the LTA, Noviniti has the right to undertake the GFD at the Hospital. Following completion of the GFD, Noviniti will grant two leases ("the Operator Leases") to Compass (guaranteed by the Guarantor). Compass will grant three sub-underleases of areas of the GFD to SWFT. Those sub-leases will comprise two areas for the occupation and use of SWFT and one lease of the common parts and structure of the GFD, leaving Compass in occupation of the retail area of the GFD. SWFT will be obliged to accept leases of the GFD directly from Noviniti if Compass defaults. SWFT has structured the contractual arrangements as a land transaction exempt from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("PCR") and the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 ("CCR").
