Summit Asset Management Limited, in conjunction with its subsidiary Medical Equipment Solutions Limited, recently completed financial close on a £34 million facility for the Avon, Gloucestershire & Wiltshire Independent Sector Treatment Centre. Situated on multiple sites within the south-western region, the centres will have capacity to carry out up to 20,000 clinical procedures every year.
The Avon, Gloucestershire & Wiltshire ISTC was one of seven phase 2 contracts to be awarded by the Department of Health. They are designed to bring new working practices into the NHS and cut waiting lists. The contract was awarded to the UK Specialist Hospitals group, with whom SAM worked on the earlier Mendip ISTC, a phase 1 project costing £16 million.
Summit structured the transaction as a lease, the second time such a structure had been used for what started out as a conventional Public Private Partnership (‘PPP’) contract.
KBC Bank NV is providing the head funding for the project.
