Published requirement description

SAC currently contracts with many vendors providing facility management services at its locations in Harwell and Westcott. We are now seeking to partner with best in class service providers to consolidate, harmonise and bring consistency to our operations. The SAC portfolio will be expanding nationally across the next 5 years and we want to work with partners who will help us form a stable base position which will be scalable.

The aim is to deliver an optimum standard of Service including planned, periodic and reactive service consistently at the same levels across all existing and future locations.

Our guiding principles are:

  • To improve value and service - best service at best cost
  • Form a partnership relationship with service partner(s) who will understand and support our ways and means of working as a government funded, not for profit organisation.
  • To ensure that we are always compliant with all statutory regulations
  • Reduce the number of FM Service Partners
  • Create a standard repeatable service delivery to support National growth
  • Improve data and metrics to support our strategy.
  • Improve our agility in delivering additional services when and where required
