Several years ago the main issue in the PPP market was that too few deals had been closed. This has changed dramatically with eighteen successfully concluded PPP deals in the market. However, with new successes also come new challenges which need to be met head on. Today, one of the key challenges facing PPPs is ensuring that the concluded deals are successfully implemented 7 according to the terms of the final agreement Dec 2007 7

The Inkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital Sponsor: Kwa Zulu Natal Department of Health (DoH) A 846-bed, tertiary care, referral-only hospital situated in Durban Opened in June 2002 9
The Inkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital The first hospital in South Africa to enter into a PPP for the delivery of all its non-clinical services It was also the first South African PPP to be conducted according to Treasury Regulation 16 and the first at the Provincial level The hospital provides highly specialized services for the entire population of KwaZulu Natal and half of the Eastern Cape Province (Population 12.5 million) The hospital is fully computerized and works on paperless principles. It uses leading-edge medical equipment, from MRIs to surgical instruments 10
Project Context Create a central hospital that was comparable to the best in the world, with the following constraints/needs in the public sector: Limited it funding within the KZN DoH for replacement of equipment; Lack of expertise within the public sector in facilities management; Lack of expertise within the public sector to sustain the IT systems; A public sector hospital management skills shortage, which made it desirable to outsource non-core functions so that the department could focus on the core medical functions of the hospital Need to ensure cutting edge technology 11
Scope of the PPP Project 15 year PPP/concession for the delivery of all the hospital s nonclinical services: supply of state-of-the-art the art equipment and information management and technology (IM&T) systems and replacing the equipment and IM&T systems so as to ensure that they remain state-of-the-art; supply and replacement of medical equipment; provision of all services necessary to manage the hospital s s assets in accordance with best industry practice; maintenance and replacement of the departmental assets in the hospital; provision or procurement of utilities and consumables and surgical instruments; and provision of facilities management (FM) services The hospital was built under a separate contract. However, the Project Company was responsible for the remedial works 12
Concessionaire Obligations Service levels based on outputs specification Outputs for medical equipment and IM&T had to be produced using state of the art equipment and industry best practices five-year replacement schedules for medical equipment three-year replacement schedules for IM&T The FM services have to be provided according to detailed output-based t specifications A complex and rigorously designed and essentially selfmonitoring penalty system ensures that any deviation from full service provision by the concession company is reflected in a series of payment deductions A help desk for effective end user contact, call logging, and service performance measurement tracking was required 13
Extensive IM&T facilities An electronic patient record; order-communications; on-line results reporting; electronic prescribing and recording of drug administration; theatre and out-patient scheduling systems; digital imaging; incorporated as a principle near-patient computing to support near patient testing. This required computer access at the bedside; IM&T links with secondary care (Other government hospitals) to facilitate direct bookings; and Started actively exploring the potential of tele-medicine 14
Risk Transfer Medical Equipment and IM&T Technology refreshment Obsolescence replacement Purchase cost including exchange and taxation risks Equipment performance/availability Maintenance costs Life of Equipment Hospital Buildings and Infra-structure Condition and availability of the IALCH building fabric/services and its required FM services performance upon commencement and during the term of the Project Agreement Whole life FM costs to include asset maintenance and replacement and FM service delivery in capital and revenue terms Condition of the IALCH buildings and infrastructure at the end Project 15
Project Costs Capital Investment (NPV): R1,560.5 m R947 m in the first year Operating Costs (NPV): R1,460 m Value for Money: R370 million over the Public Sector Comparator (PSC) constructed during the feasibility study stage 16
PPP Award Contract award in March 2001 to Impilo Consortium Treasury approval in line with the PFMA regulations was given in October 2001 Financial closure followed in early November 2001 Contract signed in December 2001 First patients on June 2002 17
African PPP/Healthcare Deal of 2002 Monthly (FM) Service Payment R 304.9 M/year Ithala Finance Corporation IMPILO Shareholders Quarterly (Capital Costs) 15-year PPP Contract R 360 M Int. free loan ROE R60 M Equity R326 M unsecured loan facility IMPILO Consortium Special Purpose Company Deferred Shares Cowslip Inv. (SPV) Payments (i + p) Lender: RAND MERCHANT BANK Provision of non-clinical services Inkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital
Financial Structure Upfront Payment = Once-off amount of R360m (including VAT). This amount was not adjusted for inflation; Interest-free loan from the KZN DoH (made via Cowslip, a special purpose vehicle created to channel the funds to the project from the government s Ithala Finance Corporation) The agreement specifies that the KZN DoH should have first ranking security over the assets Cowslip took a special class of equity, which allows it to take control of the Concessionaire in the event of default, thus ensuring immediate control over the assets for the continuance of clinical service provision. 19
Financial Structure Service Payment= R304.9m per annum (including VAT and in March 2002 terms), to escalate by CPIX and payable in: Monthly installments to cover FM costs Quarterly installments to cover capital refurbishment and replacement costs The fact that the escalation in the quarterly fee for the purchasing, replacement, and maintenance of IM&T and medical equipment is linked to CPIx means that, although there is a significant import component on equipment, both initially and during replenishment, the government did not accept any foreign currency risk 20
The Inkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital First PPP project to close in terms of the Public Finance Management Act PPP regulations; First of its scale and complexity to achieve financial close less than a year after announcement of the preferred bidder; and First project where investors and banks have had to take aepo provincial cagoe government e ced credit risk, s, without ouay any reliance on national government, other than the approval procedures as set out in the regulations 21
