The NPD model retains the efficient risk transfer achieved through the traditional PFI model and the contracts for NPD models therefore generally follow HMT's Standardisation of PFI Contracts Version 4 Guidance.
With a view to the NPD project pipeline, and building on existing standard form contracts and precedent, SFT has produced a standard form NPD project agreement for use on accommodation projects across sectors (i.e. health, schools, further education). Some amendments will be required in other sectors (e.g. transport).
