BBCap style The Times Leadership Challenge Final, Malawi W WELCOME & UPDAT E elcome to the autumn edition of Capital Q. As we go to press I am pleased to report that we have been announced as Preferred Bidder on the Southwark Schools for the Future project. This is a great achievement for Transform Schools, bringing the number of BSF projects in our portfolio to three. Congratulations to all the team who worked hard to produce an outstanding bid. In this past year Capital College has raised the profile of training within our organisation and it remains a high priority for us all. Back in March, an advert was posted on Capital College calling for participants to represent the company in the Times Leadership Challenge. After three intense rounds of competition against 64 other teams, I was delighted to learn that our team had made it to the finals in Malawi. I think this is not only a great achievement for the team but also for the company. It shows we are able to provide a working environment which supports its people and nurtures talent. This is a great achievement for Transform Schools, bringing the number of BSF projects in our portfolio to three. 2008 has been a challenging year. We’ve had some great successes but the scale and extent of the “credit crunch” has been a surprise to us all. The financial close of CNDR, Fife Hospital and M25 are all being impacted and it will take a lot of hard work to get these over the line.

Only four teams made it to the finals in Malawi… The selection process began back in May when BBCap held a selection day to pick two teams of six to enter into the Times Leadership Challenge. Ben Johnstone, Jarrod Holmes, Stephanie Mills, Adam Tyson, Hannah Burchell and Katie Whitehill made up team ‘Thinking Caps’. After a challenging first round and an even more challenging 24 hour semi-final, the team was absolutely delighted to make it to the finals in Malawi where they participated in an experience of a lifetime. 4 The Times Leadership Challenge has been an invaluable learning experience for the BBCap employees who participated this year. From the selection day on the outskirts of London to the finals in Africa, Ben Johnstone, Graduate Manager gives us the lowdown on the challenge… The Leadership challenge provided us with exposure to the core principles of leadership. The instructors have some very well refined views about leadership that have been proven to work in very real scenarios – people’s lives have often depended on their ability to lead. Through the competition, we’ve been assessed and given constructive feedback about our behaviour and leadership styles in high intensity situations. The purpose of these scenarios was to take us out of our “comfort zone” (road building in 43°C for example, see overleaf for more details!) and to challenge our perceptions of our own capabilities. All of the lessons had implications within the business environment with emphasis placed on debriefing and self analysis to ensure continual improvement. I’ve returned from Malawi with a renewed sense of purpose, a better understanding of my own style of leadership and the confidence to lead and assert myself when required. Personally, I loved the fact that everything we were doing was “real”. So many training initiatives pose hypothetical scenarios – you don’t really get to find out what you’ve learnt until you’re doing it for the first time in anger. Here, the situations are real and important so you build experience as well as competence – I don’t know of any other training initiative that achieves this. The winner of the 2008 Times Leadership Challenge will be announced at the Challenge Ball on Friday 14th November. 5 T h e T im e s L e a de r s hip Ch a l l e nge Fin a l , M a l aw i 6 Wednesday 15th October 18:00 Wednesday 15th October 19:00 Thursday 16th October 05:00 Thursday 16th October 05:15 Friday 17th October 10:00 Friday 17th October 11:00 Friday 17th October 12:00 Friday 17th October 14:00 After 18 hours of travelling we arrive in Majete game reserve to set up camp. Unfortunately Steph’s bags didn’t make it off the plane so it was the start of a gruelling few days without any kit! Sunset over camp. Full steam ahead! We left camp at 04:30 and had the challenge to build the majority of a children’s playground before 07:00. Katie, who was chief cement mixer had to visit the well for essential cement supplies. Jarrod show’s he’s not just good with spreadsheets but with pick axes too! Steph takes to a shovel surprisingly well! Ok, so we didn’t quite dig the whole road but it was 42°C. We did however manage to clear a fair bit of forest and successfully mapped out the rest of the 5k road. After lunch the finalists were looking weary and feeling the strains of working in intense heat... Thursday 16th October 07:00 Thursday 16th October 07:15 Thursday 16th October 07:30 Thursday 16th October 07:30 Friday 17th October 14:30 Friday 17th October 19:00 Saturday 18th October 03:00 Saturday 18th October 13:00 Pupils from Namisempha Junior School welcome us to their school with a performance which brought some of us to tears. Briefing for our next challenge. We had a number of challenges to complete before lunchtime. And they were!… Painting the newly built teacher’s accommodation. A building funded by the money raised at our semi-finals. Adam shows off some skills he picked up on Knowsley construction site. So it was time for some quiet reflection in the river. Time to set up camp again, and enjoy the peace and quiet as it was our last night in the Majete Game Reserve. In the dead of night we packed up camp and set off on a six hour drive to an Orphanage in the north of Malawi. The final challenge… paint the orphanage. Thursday 16th October 09:00 Thursday 16th October 10:00 Thursday 16th October 12:00 Thursday 16th October 12:30 Saturday 18th October 15:00 After all that painting and carpentry we thought playground duty would be light relief but it turned out to be the biggest energy zapper of all! Teach the children English. It’s much harder than it sounds. We managed to teach them ‘My name is…’ Unfortunately we couldn’t quite communicate it well enough and had 40 children all walking around saying ‘My name is Jarrod’! All the finalists and instructors reconvene after lunch in front of the teacher blocks funded by the Times Leadership Challenge. We spent the afternoon in the village of Namisempha learning about village life. The objective was that the finalists would work together in groups in different parts of the village to cook the villagers a traditional Malawian meal. Steph and Martin from BSkyB co-ordinated the painting of the Orphanage sign. The results can be seen on p.4&5 Thursday 16th October 17:00 Friday 17th October 06:00 Friday 17th October 07:00 Friday 17th October 09:00 Sunday 19th October 10:00 Picture of the week Time to say goodbye. After what was a physically and mentally exhausting day in the village we said our goodbyes to the villagers we’d got to know and become so fond of. Day two and time to finish the school playground. All the finishing touches were made, ready for the children to enjoy after their 4k walk home from school. Deep in the heart of the Majete Game Reserve we wondered, what next? Dig a road. Possibly our most gruelling challenge of the trip. Time to leave Malawi. But we will most definitely remember this experience of a lifetime. Thank you BBCap for giving us such a fantastic opportunity! The award goes to Mr Ben Johnstone for this great photo. 7 C Viva la vida BBCap style! apital Life is an exciting new initiative at BBCap and it’s due to be rolled out in 2009. To date, BBCap has been fully supportive of a number of social activities including sailing weekends, skiing breaks, summer balls and fishing trips. The annual BBCap ski trip is a great example of our employees wanting to gather together out of office hours. The 2009 trip has proved to be more popular than ever with 68 members of staff from offices around the country already signed up to take part. With that in mind BBCap would like to offer a more varied programme of events, ensuring there is an event for everyone. BBCap hope to achieve this through Capital Life. Who better to decide on the sort of events you would like to participate in than you! Capital Life will be driven by suggestions made by employees and co-ordinated by a team covering the whole of the UK. Ben Willett, Assistant Bid Manager will oversee proceedings and co-ordinate regional representatives. Put down any event suggestions you may have on an event suggestion form and pass on to your regional representative. This will then be passed on for approval. In 2009 BBCap looks forward to inviting you to a wide range of events including family days, cultural outings and sporting events to name a few. Before Christmas we will be launching a calendar on The Library, giving you a taster of what’s to come and keeping you up to date on the schedule of events. The future of Capital Life is in your hands… So, get your suggestions in and we look forward to reporting on these events in Capital Q next year! 8 9 CONSOR T HEALT HCARE NEWS T Foundation stone ceremony at Tameside o celebrate the 60th anniversary of the NHS, Tameside Hospital has organised a series of events which will raise awareness of the construction project at their hospital. For the first event on 5th July, the Health Improvement Team sought out the first baby born in Tameside Hospital on the first day of the NHS. Maureen Fox (top inset photo) was delighted to be dubbed The Bevin Babe, and subsequently accepted an invitation to lay the foundation stone at the Hartshead Building on 26th September. Maureen and Trust Chairman, Tim Presswood, were presented with commemorative trowels following the foundation stone event on site, and then escorted their guests to Werneth House for lunch. In her short speech following lunch Maureen noted that, if she had been born at the hospital on the 4th July 1948 instead of 5th July, her parents would have had to pay two guineas for the care she and her mother received! The Trust took this opportunity to launch their ENTHUSE project (Engaging Tameside Hospital USErs), and invited representatives from local schools to join them on a number of projects over the course of the construction period. BBCap’s community engagement team will support the Trust with these projects, as will Balfour Beatty Construction via the Construction Skills Academy based at Salford. In addition the Trust and the educational establishments will collaborate on mutually beneficial projects to ensure the local community develops and maintains close links with the hospital. 10 O Opening of Birmingham’s £70m mental health hospital ne of the most prestigious mental health projects undertaken in Europe was officially opened last quarter by Alan Johnson, the Secretary of State for Health and comedienne Jo Brand (who is an ex-psychiatric nurse). This £70 million complex of three hospital buildings was handed over to Birmingham Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust by Consort Healthcare as part of the Birmingham New Hospitals Project, and replaces the existing Queen Elizabeth Psychiatric Hospital which has now been demolished. It provides 140 beds including specialist services for neuropsychiatry, eating disorders, mother and baby, deaf services, psychiatric intensive care and general wards for adults with acute mental health problems. The team at Consort Healthcare Birmingham worked closely with the Mental Health Trust, their service users and the local community over the last four years to overcome obstacles to deliver these facilities. Russell Hall, Design Manager, Consort Healthcare paid tribute to the Trust’s project team, “Their vision to help people get better by promoting hope and recovery became a shared goal and formed the basis of a strong professional relationship and lasting personal friendships.” 11 CONSOR T HEALT HCARE BIDDING UP D AT E E n ni s k i l l e n Following the notification that we were unsuccessful on Enniskillen we have received a formal debrief from the Trust. A workshop took place in October for the Balfour Beatty Healthcare team to review the feedback and try and identify improvement areas for forthcoming health bids on Papworth and Royal Liverpool hospital projects. Et oi l e c a n c e r p r o j e c t, Ly o n OMAGH The 2nd stage of this project got under way in mid-October. This centre will be known as a “hadrontherapy centre” and uses similar technology (albeit at a much smaller scale) to the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva which has featured so strongly in the news recently. We have used the recent down-time on the project to get more acquainted with the PFI process in France and to learn more about the technology. Our project team members Pascal Fel and Tzvetelina Bogoina recently visited a similar installation in Essen, Germany, soon to be completed by our partners IBA. In the light of the feedback on the Enniskillen project and in view of changes to the procurement approach which the Trust wished to bring in on Omagh we have now confirmed to the Trust that the Consort Healthcare consortium is withdrawing from the project. The decision was made jointly by Balfour Beatty and our Northern Ireland partners Graham. The decision has been partly driven by the constant delays to the project which was OJEU’d in April 2007 but which we are still awaiting the Competitive Dialogue documents, 18 months later. A a c h e n c a n c e r p r o j e c t, G e r m a n y FIFE The 2nd stage of this project is about to get under way. Our role on this project is as equity provider only (rather than sponsor) so we have much less direct involvement. Like many other PPP projects, Fife has been affected by the recent tightening of the credit market such that the funders that had been identified are no longer able to hold their terms. As a result the project will now be subject to a further funding competition which will be overseen by Rob Edwards and Jarrod Holmes in project finance. In the meantime the Consort Healthcare team is working flat out to finalise the remaining commercial matters whilst NHS Fife is well advanced in its enabling works. Pa p w o r t h H o s p i ta l The next UK hospital expected to go to OJEU will be the world renowned cardiac hospital – Papworth. The project involves the relocation of the hospital from rural Cambridgeshire to the Addenbrookes Hospital campus in the city of Cambridge. During the summer David Boyd and Stephen Spall took Trust staff to the US on a joint visit to investigate recent cardiac centre facilities, partly sponsored by Balfour Beatty Construction US. We are hoping to see the OJEU by December 2008. 12 13 CONNEC T ROA D S NEWS C T Routine and Winter Service Code seminar Journey Time Reliability onnect Roads is now 13 years into the 30 year contract to operate and maintain the A50 from Sawley Interchange at the eastern end of the Derby Southern Bypass to Meir Interchange at the western end of the Blythe Bridge Bypass. During this time, expectations of service levels to the customer have advanced and Connect Roads is proud to have been selected by the Highways Agency as the first private finance company to have its 1996 contract requirements significantly changed by updating to new standards of working. he Routine and Winter Service Code (RWSC) Embedment seminar was held jointly between Connect Roads and the Highways Agency on 18th September to celebrate and participate in the introduction of the Network Management Manual (NMM) and RWSC on the Connect Roads concessions. The culmination of 2 years of collaborative working, the seminar was attended by Connect Roads and the Highways Agency operational staff, and explained the history of the incorporation of NMM/RWSC into the existing contracts using Best Value criteria. To emphasise the spirit of partnership and engender this into the delivery team, speakers included those people involved with the contract negotiations who addressed how this change will work in practice. 14 The RWSC is designed to improve the delivery of safe and reliable journeys, the key aspect being the introduction of outcome based levels of service including the introduction of the Incident Support Unit service. Over the past two years, Connect Roads has been working in partnership with the Highways Agency to adopt into the contract over one hundred changes in highway operational standards and the adoption of performance rather than prescribed methods of working. The Incident Support Units (ISUs) were an advanced agreement of the larger change and their success is clearly demonstrated by statistics. However, this is only one element of the update. The other substantial areas of change to be implemented over the coming months will include landscape and biodiversity management, geotechnical assessment and bridge inspections. In addition to reducing the contractual response time for incidents between 5am and 9pm from 1 hour to 45 minutes, the ISUs patrolling the network throughout the day also provide a pro-active approach to preventing incidents and reducing delays to road users. By identifying potential problems on the network (such as debris in live lanes) before they can lead to an incident, the ISUs can improve road user safety and journey time reliability. 15 B U LLE T INS I Fire and Rescue Oh I do like to be beside the seaside... n March 2008 Balfour Beatty plc purchased Dean and Dyball, a leading multi-disciplinary contractor based in the South-East of England. Dean and Dyball own a 25% stake in one PFI concession, that being Pevensey Coastal Defence Ltd (PCDL). Since Balfour Beatty’s acquisition, it made sense for PCDL to sit within the Infrastructure Operations part of BBCap. Pevensey beach is largely formed of gravel and sand pushed landward from the Channel floor by rising sea levels following the last ice age. Material used to replenish the beach today is also taken from the sea bed and is thus a very close match for the existing beach. Ian Thomas, Project Manager of Pevensey Coastal Defence tells us why the work they do there is key to the protection of the coastline and its wildlife. • considerate Construction Scheme award in 2003, and 2005 to 2007; “Pevensey Bay’s Sea Defences consist of a shingle bank that extends for 9km between Eastbourne and Bexhill-on-Sea in East Sussex. Immediately inland there is an area of some 50sq.km that includes over 10,000 properties, several caravan parks and important road and rail links. It is also home to the ecologically sensitive Pevensey Levels, which would be inundated by salt water every high tide if the defences were permanently breached. The Pevensey Bay Contract is the first Public Private Partnership (PPP) flood defence scheme to be let in the UK and, as a pathfinder project (HM Treasury designated), its success or failure is likely to be significant in future flood defence procurement policy. 16 Over the years PCDL has accrued a number of awards including: NOR T H WES T FIRE AN D RESC U E SERVICES P FI P ROJEC T Balfour Beatty Fire and Rescue, a consortium led by BBCap, has been invited to participate in Competitive Dialogue for the £45m (capex) North West Fire and Rescue Services PFI Project, following a successful PQQ submission on 12th September. The project involves the design, construction, financing and facilities management of 16 community fire stations in Merseyside, Lancashire and Cumbria. BBCap are working in partnership with HBML and a construction joint venture comprising Mansell and Border Construction, a Cumbria based contractor. • a Green Apple award in 2006; •Best Environment Project above £20 million at the Public Private Finance Awards in 2002. None of these awards would have been possible without the willingness of all stakeholders to work together constructively for the good of the community and the environment. They also reflect how the scheme was initially setup by the Environment Agency and the close collaboration that has existed between PCDL and the Agency ever since. We hope to continue with our successes and look for new innovative ways to continually improve the service we provide.” Ian Thomas MYAT T S FIEL D NOR T H Myatts Field North is at the final tender stage with only two bidders left. The call for final tenders is currently 28th November with the final tender hopefully being submitted around 5th December. With the current credit crunch and dropping property values, the project is throwing more and more challenges at the bid team. If all goes to plan, the preferred bidder will be announced in mid January 2009, watch this space... 17 T RANSFORM SCHOOLS NEWS O Royal visit in Rotherham n 9th October Prince Andrew arrived in style to officially open Maltby Crags Junior and Infant Schools. In bright autumn sunshine, the pupils gathered in the playground to welcome the Prince as he flew his helicopter over the school buildings and landed on the playing field. Formal introductions took place before the Prince was conducted on a tour of the school by head teachers Helen Mangham and Sheila Ralph, to see the work that the children have been doing since they moved into their new buildings. In addition, there was a special visit to see the outdoor areas and the pond which has been constructed by pupils of the school, working with the Site Manager Jim Beasley. During the formal part of the itinerary guests were treated to musical entertainment, first by junior school pupils, and then by Key Stage 1 pupils, culminating with a joint performance of ‘The Greatest Love of all’, emphasising the school’s message that ‘Children are our future’. The Prince asked the children to promise that they would learn all that they could from their teachers, and would do their homework (without too much help from mum or dad!), before unveiling the plaque to commemorate the official opening of the schools. The pupils were then delighted to see the motorcade of cars and motorcycles that whisked the Prince away to his next appointment, and the event was brought to a close with a balloon race.

It’s a very busy period with numerous work stream meetings continuing with the client. There has been slippage of deadlines with the client moving Close of Dialogue to 21st November and submission of the final bid to 2nd January. We are working hard to tie the bid up before Christmas to avoid some of the challenges of getting printing done over the holiday and hopefully giving the team a well-earned break.” Claire Douglas D e r b y s hir e B SF “We are nearing the final hurdle of the competition for Derbyshire BSF and are due to submit the ITSFB on the final stage of our bid in the coming weeks.” Ian Woosey 20 “Since the release of the OJEU on 3rd September we have had the opportunity to meet Hull’s project team at their Bidders Day in September. This was an opportunity to learn more about the project and the challenges Hull are dealing with. There is much regeneration taking place in Hull and the BSF programme will be a way to contribute to social and economic regeneration, transform learning and deliver new life chances. We were successful with our pre-qualification which was submitted on 14th October and have now been invited to submit the ITPD on 13th November followed by a presentation on either 26th or 27th November.” Rachel Blagg B l a c k bu r n w i t h D a r w e n a n d B o lt o n B SF “Balfour Beatty Education has been successful in qualifying for the ITCD stage of Blackburn with Darwen and Bolton BSF. This is a £400m BSF project covering two local authorities totaling 27 schools. The competition at ITPD stage was stiff. We were up against three strong bidders: Catalyst, Interserve, Laing/Laing O’Rourke. At the moment, it is not known who other than ourselves have qualified for ITCD but there is no doubt the competition will be strong. The Blackburn with Darwen and Bolton bid team have been working very hard to get to this stage and prepare for the ITCD stage. The BBCap direct team is: Chris Sargent, Martin Sweeney, Kapil Lalwani, Mark Jennings, Ben Yates and Dave McCallam. I should also mention that our submissions team have done brilliant work (once again) in providing support.
