FM Procurement
Facilitating informed decision-making and best practicesFM Procurement
Facilities Management (FM) procurement is a critical process for the public sector to obtain value for money in both Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and non-PFI contracts. P2G recognizes the significance of this process and offers comprehensive support to ensure the public sector achieves optimal outcomes.
PFI Contracts and FM Procurement
In PFI contracts, FM procurement is a crucial aspect that requires careful consideration. As these contracts often span long durations, typically 20-30 years, making the right procurement decisions is vital to guarantee efficient and cost-effective services throughout the contract lifecycle. P2G has extensive experience in managing PFI contracts and can provide invaluable guidance to public sector authorities.
One of the key ways P2G supports the public sector in PFI contracts is through shadow benchmarking of proposals made by Project Co. This involves reviewing and evaluating the proposals put forward by the Project Co against established benchmarking criteria. By conducting a rigorous analysis of these proposals, P2G ensures that the public sector receives true value for money, even without going through the traditional benchmarking and market testing processes. This approach helps in optimising costs and delivering high-quality services.
Non-PFI Contracts and FM Procurement
While PFI contracts present unique challenges, non-PFI contracts also require careful attention to FM procurement to ensure value for money. P2G understands the intricacies involved and assists public sector organisations in making informed decisions during the procurement process.
In non-PFI contracts, P2G provides expert advice on benchmarking and market testing. By leveraging their industry knowledge and expertise, P2G helps public sector authorities identify the most suitable providers and secure competitive pricing. This proactive approach ensures transparency, fairness, and value for money throughout the procurement process.
