UPDATE ON NEW ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL
Downer EDI Limited (Downer) announced today that Spotless had reached agreement with the South
Australian Government and Celsus in relation to the delivery of services by Spotless at the new Royal
Adelaide Hospital.
The term sheet, which remains subject to various approvals, includes:
settlement of historical abatement claims;
a revised KPI and abatement regime designed to better reflect the services provided by Spotless;
an increase to Spotless’ monthly service fee; and
commitments by the parties to work collaboratively on initiatives to further reduce costs and improve
patient outcomes.
The Chief Executive Officer of Downer, Grant Fenn, said the agreement would improve the contract’s
monthly cash position and provide a strong foundation for further improvements to the operating model at the
hospital.
“All parties have worked hard during the settlement discussions to address the various legacy issues and
come up with solutions that provide better outcomes for patients,” Mr Fenn said. “We are now clear on the
additional scope of works being performed by Spotless with alignment on the monthly service fee.”
The settlement agreement once formalised, will take financial effect from 1 July 2019.
The additional service fee will be paid from 1 July 2019 up until June 2022 when there will be a re-pricing
process in accordance with the subcontract terms.
Downer reports its full year results on 22 August 2019.
