Sell-side advisory

London– Alantra has acted as exclusive financial advisor to Outcomes First Group (OFG) on the carve-out and sale of its adult residential services division to Achieve together, one of the UK’s leading providers of specialist support for autistic people and individuals with learning disabilities.

OFG has built a strong reputation for supporting individuals with complex social, communication and sensory difficulties and behaviours which may challenge. Its adult residential services division comprised 18 high-quality homes across the UK, all rated Compliant, Good, or Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) or Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW).

Achieve together operates a nationwide network of residential and supported living services, delivering person-centred care to individuals with learning disabilities, autism and associated complex needs. The acquisition is a strong geographical fit with Achieve together’s existing portfolio and will further strengthen local support options for autistic people.

Richard Cooke, Chief Investment and Strategy Officer at Outcomes First Group, commented: “We have known the Alantra team for over a decade and had no hesitation in appointing them to support us on this complex carve-out. Their deep sector knowledge, hands-on technical capabilities and process experience delivered an outstanding result for us in an efficient time frame.”

Justin Crowther, Managing Director and Head of UK Healthcare at Alantra, said: “We are delighted to have advised Outcomes First Group on the strategic carve-out of their adult residential care division. Outcomes First Group has a market-leading reputation supporting people with complex needs, and in Achieve together we have found them a responsible partner who will continue to provide high-quality care and person-centred support to the adults now in their care. This is a great outcome for all concerned.”

The integration of the adult residential homes into Achieve together’s portfolio will take place over the coming months, with a seamless transition plan in place to ensure continuity for people supported, their families and teams.

Alantra’s longstanding relationship with OFG, combined with its deep sector expertise and track record in executing complex carve-outs, enabled the successful and efficient delivery of this transaction.
