Remote working obviously has very significant challenges for FM and property.  The old usage profile for 95% of buildings of five days occupied and two empty was accepted as the norm – but that was 71% occupancy if everyone turned up for the five. We are probably now looking at less than 50%. We explore what organisations and their property and FM suppliers need to do to make sense of asset management and the potential impact on the turnover and profitability of the FM market

Landmark & Associates have undertaken a large number of facilities management contract reviews for a wide range of clients, from single buildings to large portfolios, in the UK and internationally. We frequently find that it is very rare to find a completely compliant contract. Whilst often this is due to an inability to deliver the service properly more often than not we find that non-compliance is because both parties are unaware of what is in the contract.

This presentation focuses on the practical steps you should take as you head towards PFI Exit. It is based on our experience gained on the exit of one of the largest PFI Exits for the Department for Works and Pensions and also supporting the exit of one of the first PFI’s in the University sector.

FM Contracts come in many different sizes and complexities; from the simple single service for a small site to multi service FM contracts across hundreds of buildings. There are a number of variables which will influence the choice of the length of the contract. These include need to optimise value from the market, cost of change, and need for good supplier relationships.

Why do you need to develop an FM sourcing strategy? Packaging your services properly will ensure you are attractive to the market and you get competitive bids when you tender. Buying the services that your business needs and ensuring appropriate risk transfer will improve value for money and by tendering to the right market should ensure you get a company that is the right fit and will value you as a customer.
