FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
National framework provider Pagabo has issued a prior information notice (PIN) for its latest framework to support the public sector with procuring facilities management support.
With an anticipated full-term value of £180 million, the Total Facilities Management Framework will enable public sector organisations to compliantly appoint suppliers to manage planned and reactive requirements for their estate. Those organisations appointed to the framework will be responsible for managing hard, soft or total (combined) facilities management services for clients.
Each lot will be split into 24 geographical areas, comprising five national and 19 regional areas. There will be a maximum of five suppliers appointed per area, with the regional focus supporting Pagabo’s commitment to SME inclusion across its frameworks.
Once live in June 2023, the framework will run for four years until June 2027 and will compliantly connect public sector organisations with pre-approved facilities management businesses of all sizes across the UK.
The framework suppliers will provide framework users with access to a helpdesk where staff will log reactive breakdown calls so that the supplier can assess priority and allocate resources needed to ensure fast and competent recovery from sudden failures, breakdowns, or disruption.
Jason Stapley, Chief Procurement Officer at The 55 Group, Pagabo’s parent organisation, said: “Our new framework agreement is set to deliver a rounded approach to facilities management – including procurement and supply chain management, planned and responsive facility management, all-year-round incident and call handling, and property and asset management.
“The suppliers available will be specialists and creating the most competitive tender process – which stands to benefit the public sector in its specific requirements. The services offered can also be uniquely tailored, including the scope of services delivered and the procurement route.”
Red Kite Learning Trust will be the contracting authority for the new agreement, which takes on the same role for several other Pagabo frameworks.
FMJ in conjunction with Grundon Waste Management is pleased to launch the 2023 waste management and recycling survey which examines the ways in which FMs approach their waste management responsibilities.
In this, the sixth year for the annual appraisal, we know there is a greater opportunity than ever for FMs to reappraise their waste and recycling operations and help their organisations meet the growing pressure to achieve ESG goals.
We want to learn how FMs have adapted to the legislative, economic and societal changes of the past year and how they plan to meet the latest waste and recycling targets.
In this survey we’ve posed a series of questions which include insights into FMs’ waste management strategy and targets, how they’re moving towards zero waste targets, and the importance of not just meeting compliance targets but also ESG goals.
The results of the 2023 survey will be published in FMJ magazine and form the basis of a white paper co-written by FMJ and the experts at Grundon on how to approach waste and recycling strategies.
