The buyout requires public authorities and the SPV shareholders to voluntarily agree to terminate a PFI/PPP contract for the reasons summarised in Part 2. The public sector usually saves money from a buyout whilst the private sector receives a lump sum payment in addition to the unitary payments it has already received from the public authority. The financial negotiations are complex and the financial saving varied - see Table 10 in Appendix A. For example, the Hexham Hospital PFI project had, for example, a financial close on 31 March 2003 with capital cost of £54.1m and total unitary payments of £252.6m.
