  • Identify the scope of the efficiency opportunities associated with each option.
  • Bring estates management and expertise together to work as a team.
  • Draft a Case for Change

What We did

  • Options identification for future service provision including, out-sourcing, lead provider.

  • Analysis of options including benefits appraisal and financial opportunity appraisal.

  • Relationship building with Directors of Estates & Facilities.

  • Developed and ran workshops to progress key decisions and explore initial issues.

  • Provided benchmarking.

  • Drafted the Case for Change in a transparent manner including the sharing of all calculations supporting analysis.

Outcomes
