Heijmans and Barclays start joint venture for DBFMO projects
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Heijmans and Barclays Infrastructure Fund (BIF) are going to be partners in the
Heijmans Capital BV joint venture for financing DBFMO (design, build, finance,
maintain, operate) projects. The partnership is aimed at sharing the risk-
bearing capital and knowledge required to carry out DBFMO projects, starting as
early as the tender phase. The last spring closed initial agreement is now
converted into a final agreement, in which the Dutch National Military Museum
project in Soesterberg will be the first project to be directly accommodated by
this partnership.
Heijmans and BIF are observing an expansion of the market for PPP/DBFMO
projects, particularly in relation to customers such as the Dutch Government
Building Agency (Rijksgebouwendienst) and the Directorate-General for Public
Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat). The partnership ensures that the
combination is able to anticipate this market trend and can reinforce each other
on the basis of their individual strength: Barclays as fund manager and Heijmans
as builder and operator.
The joint venture concerns the long-term financing of risk-bearing DBFMO
projects and as such is separate from Heijmans' core activities, building,
developing and operating. Heijmans Capital BV is focused on projects in the
Netherlands and Belgium. For new projects BIF assumes an 80% participating
interest and Heijmans a 20% participating interest in Heijmans Capital BV. Both
parties are jointly represented on the management board.
