Churchill launches high
spec cleaning brand
Independent support services
provider, Churchill Group,
has launched Portfolio, a high
specifi cation cleaning service for
organisations who regard the
workplace environment as critical to
their core business.
Portfolio has been designed for
companies who see a direct link
between their buildings, the way
in which a business is perceived,
and its ability to excel at its core
operations. Based on feedback from
its clients across the legal, banking,
media, and professional services
sectors, Churchill has identifi ed the
need to deliver something diff erent,
with an entirely new ethos behind it.
Portfolio is delivered by a dedicated
team of cleaning professionals
who are trained in concierge style
service and understand a client
organisation’s culture. Through
the Portfolio Centre of Excellence,
its learning and development hub,
and partnership with a renowned
fi vestar hotel, ;ortfolio will seek
to challenge convention in the
outsourced cleaning market.
To accompany the launch, Portfolio
by Churchill has published its
own independently written and
researched report on the cleaning
industry. Using interviews with
key fi gures from across the Muilt
environment, the paper looks
to reappraise a service that is
often, and unfairly, considered
highly commoditised, static and
unsophisticated. 4t is split into fi ve
categories – standards, delivery,
technology, sustainability, and
industry perception – in order to
build a clearer picture of cleaning
today and where it might be heading
in the future.
GOVERNMENT REVAMPS
OUTSOURCING MEASURES
The Cabinet O ice has launched new outsourcing
guidance which has been designed to improve how
government works with industry and deliver better public
services.
The Outsourcing Playbook will ensure that the government
gets right more projects from the start, engages with a diverse
and healthy marketplace of companies, including small
businesses and charities, and is ready for the rare occasions
when things go wrong.
This follows reforms announced in recent months by the
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the
Cabinet O ice, David Lidington, to ensure that government
procurement is fit for the future, including putting social
values at the heart of public service delivery.
New measures include changes to how government
allocates risk between itself and its suppliers, to ensure
contracts are set-up for success and the public are provided
with the best possible service.
The government is also taking steps to improve the design
of outsourcing projects from their inception. New complex
contracts will be piloted with the private sector before rolling
out fully, enabling the government to learn from experience
and deliver better public services.
Measures in the Playbook include:
Requirement for Pilots – enabling the government to learn
from experience and deliver better public services
Risk Allocation – to ensure contracts are set up for success
from the outset
Key Performance Indicators – KPIs from every new
outsourcing contract will be made publicly available
Resolution Plans (Living Wills) – For the rare event of the
supplier’s corporate failure
Publication of Pipelines – Departments will be required
to regularly publish their upcoming requirements, to help
suppliers plan ahead
Make versus Buy Decisions – To identify when it is best to
deliver public services in house or when there is benefit to
drawing on the expertise of the private sector
FACILITIES SHOW MOVES FORWARD IN 2020
Facilities Show has announced a move in dateline
from June to May, taking e ect from 2020.
Taking place 19-21 May 2020, the decision to
change the date for Facilities Show has been taken in
collaboration with the wider profession.
Facilities Show is a unique opportunity for
businesses to reach an engaged audience, and 2020’s
dateline change has been warmly welcomed by the
FM industry. Exhibitors see the move as a positive
shi , granting them more time to work with their
contacts from the show and secure business before
the summer.
Currently running alongside Safety & Health Expo,
IFSEC International and FIREX, from 2020 Facilities
Show will
also be
co-located
with the
Security & Counter Terror Expo as they move to
ExCeL. This strategic alignment brings an audience of
38,000 FM, health and safety, security and fire safety
professionals together under one roof.
In 2019, Facilities Show keeps its June dateline,
taking place 18-20 June at ExCeL London.
