Novation Charges
The Novation service enables communications providers already established as Openreach customers to request the transfer of specific product contracts from one legal entity to another. This facility can be of use in business change scenarios such as merger and acquisitions, sale or corporate re-structuring.
Novations are carried out on a per-contract basis and require all three parties to sign the standard Openreach novation agreement. The novation of a contract means that all services and end users under that contract are transferred to the new legal entity.
A one-off fee will be applicable for each Product Contract included in a novation request, in addition to a fee for each asset included in the Novation.
