answer text: The Department for Work and Pensions occupies the majority of its estate under a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) known as the PRIME Contract. Under this PFI, the Department leases fully serviced accommodation from its private sector partner Telereal Trillium. The Department pays an inclusive unitary price for the space occupied. The Department does not own any of the buildings that it occupies. Telereal Trillium must under the PRIME contract provide security of tenure until contract expiry in 31/3/2018. In the event the lease term expires before this and Telereal Trillium are unable to obtain an extension to the lease they are required to deliver suitable alternative accommodation to the Department. The Department has put in place a project to oversee and assure the work to prepare for the end of the Prime contract and to ensure that there is continuity of estate to support the ongoing delivery of business from April 2018 onwards. In Scotland, the Department delivers customer-facing services from 96 locations of which 91 are occupied under the PRIME contract, 4 sites are shared with other Government Departments under a Memorandum Of Occupancy Agreement and 1 is co-located with a Local Authority under licence. A list of these sites is provided below. In addition, our services are also delivered from over 50 flexible service delivery locations shared with other partner organisations â Local Authorities, HM Prisons, Retailers etc. - in their sites under licence.
