Integrated Facilities Management (IFM)

Description

The City of London Corporation (contracting as the Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London) and the City of London Police, acting as the Authority is putting in place a Framework Agreement for provision of Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) services, for use by UK public sector bodies. IFM is the consolidation of Facility Management (FM) services under a single supplier including hard and soft FM services bringing efficiencies in contract management, supply chain, project management and collaborative planning. The Framework will be divided into six Lots reflecting property groups: • Lot 1 - Corporate Property • Lot 2 - Commercial Property • Lot 3 - Performing Arts Venues • Lot 4 - Heritage property / Mixed Use (including Office Space, Events, & Archives) • Lot 5 - Schools • Lot 6 - Police and Courts By dividing property groups into six Lots which reflect the customer and clients’ requirements, tailored service delivery models can be delivered in an integrated manner to provide FM services with differing objectives and drivers based on clients’ needs and contract specifications which are adapted to meet these differing and unique requirements. Suppliers can submit proposals to be shortlisted for Lots without restriction (i.e. suppliers can propose to be shortlisted for all six Lots). However to be shortlisted suppliers will need to demonstrate their skill and experience in delivering services relevant to the customer requirements for each Lot. It will be open to all public sector bodies to use the Framework to undertake further competitions and award contracts.
