<title>Sale and lease-back of government buildings offshored</title>
<link>http://www.european-services-strategy.org.uk/outsourcing-library/contract-and-privatisation-failures/sale-and-lease-back-of-government-buildings-of/</link>
<description>The New Labour government, keen to establish a market in the sale and lease-back of government buildings, announced a A$9 billion (£3.6 billion) private finance initiative deal with Mapeley Group in March 2001. It included 700 buildings of the Inland Revenue, HM Customs and Excise, and the Valuation Office Agency in the Strategic Transfer of the Estate to the Private Sector (STEPS) project.  Mapeley immediately transferred the freehold and long-lease properties to Bermuda.</description>

<title>Restructuring of Royal Armouries PPP/PFI project</title>
<link>http://www.european-services-strategy.org.uk/outsourcing-library/contract-and-privatisation-failures/restructuring-of-royal-armouries-ppppfi-projec/</link>
<description>The Royal Armouries moved from the Tower of London to a new museum in Leeds in 1996. The £43m PPP/PFI deal with Royal Armouries International (RAI - led by 3i Group plc,) included £20m from the museum and £8.5m from Leeds City Council and Leeds Development Corporation. However, visitor numbers were a fraction of those projected leading to two refinancings of the project and eventually ceased to be a PPP project.</description>
