Hard facilities management services are undertaken by Cofely Technical Services (part of the GDF Suez group).
The second acquisition is for a 16.0% equity and loan note interest in the Ealing Care Homes PFI Project, which is being purchased from Galliford Try Investments. The acquisition increased HICL's stake to 84%.
The project is a 32-year concession to design, build, finance, operate and maintain four care homes for the London Borough of Ealing.
The total consideration for the two purchases is £4.9m, funded from HICL's existing cash resources. As is normally the case with HICL's acquisitions, the group said the purchase price is in line with the current valuation of other UK PFI projects within its portfolio.
