Total Quantity or Scope

TGP are re-considering the current outsource delivery model for Hard FM services in the communal areas across its property stock. It is worth pointing out that the initial scope of this consultation does not include services inside flats, it is only in relation in the communal areas in residential properties. Historically, Hard FM has been delivered by multiple specialist suppliers for individual services such as domestic boilers, ventilation, electronic security systems, legionella, lifts, fire equipment, etc. Most of these specialist contracts were further sub-divided into geographical lots, typically North, South and West. As most of the current Hard FM contracts are expiring within the next 12 months, TGP would like to explore different outsourcing models. The typical models in the Hard FM industry are Sigle Services, Bundled Services or Total Hard FM. This consultation aims to attract suppliers who can deliver either of these models and to explore the pros and cons associated with each model. TGP would like to adopt the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. The overall objectives are to: - reduce spend, increase control, increase quality and ensure compliance - leverage and maximise our buying power - incentivise good performance and maintain competitive pricing - implement best practice and innovating ideas from other sectors For reference, the services in scope are likely to be: … Asbestos Abatement Works … Fire Remedial Work Commercial Gas … Lifts Servicing Playgrounds Inspections … The combined anticipated annual value for hard FM is £33,000,000.
