The Government's ambition is to enable the delivery of an operational third runway at Heathrow Airport by 2035 through a privately financed, market-led delivery model. As one of the UK's largest and most complex infrastructure programmes, Heathrow expansion presents significant financing, affordability, delivery and regulatory challenges. The successful Adviser will act as a sponsor-side adviser to DfT, providing independent advice on matters including: - The financeability and financial deliverability of Heathrow expansion; - Debt and equity market appetite and financing conditions; - Affordability, risk allocation and investor confidence; - Measures to improve financeability and reduce delivery risk; - Government exposure to programme costs and risks; - Delivery structures, governance arrangements and commercial models; and - Emerging financing, commercial and regulatory issues. The successful Adviser will also be required to deliver a strategic financeability assessment every six months throughout the contract term. The anticipated contract term is three (3) years with an option to extend for a further one (1) year. The estimated total contract value is approximately £3 million (excluding VAT).
