Service Failure Points and Hard Service Provider Liability Cap

The Hard Service Provider, Vinci Construction Ltd ("Vinci"), submitted their Performance Monitoring Report for the month of December 2022, in which they declared that sufficient Service Failure Points ("SFPs") have accrued over the 6-month period July 2022 to December 2022, in respect of the service provided to the University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (the "Trust") to constitute an Event of Default under the Collateral Deed. Additionally, the level of SFPs declared is above the threshold for an Event of Hard Services Provider Default under the Hard Services Contract and a Project Co Event of Default under the Project Agreement.

The Trust has made deductions in respect of these failures. These deductions, in addition to deductions withheld by the Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust, have taken the value of cumulative deductions for the Contract Year to over 80% of the total Hard Service Provider Liability Cap. This is also an Event of Hard Services Provider Default under the Hard Services Contract.

The Issuer will be reserving their rights in respect of these issues with the Hard Service Provider.
