Facilities Management

We have a wealth of experience acting for a wide range of public and private sector clients on facilities management contracts in areas such as:

• Catering and hospitality
• Other soft services such as cleaning, pest control, landscaping, parking
• Repairs and maintenance such as reactive repair, planned and cyclical repair, replacement
• Other hard services such as heating, HVAC, building management systems, fire safety
• Estate, residential property and tenant management
• Energy management
• Transportation, warehousing and logistics
• Mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering
• Medical supplies and laboratory services
• Manufacturing and engineering
• Security and protection
• Back-office and IT services and data centres

We are experienced in developing contracts to bring together multiple services or to outsource facilities management in what is sometimes called a ‘total FM’ (or integrated FM (IFM)) solution. We support clients who are outsourcing FM for the first time or re-procuring contracts. We are able to use the various industry standard form contracts, Government FM contracts employed by the public sector, or to develop bespoke contracts, including partnering arrangements.

We have experience across different sectors including life sciences and healthcare, educational institutions, defence, leisure, transport, energy, sports and treatment plants.

Where needed, our strength in project advisory work and dispute management enables us to provide clients with early advice on a problem and access to a range of dispute resolution options.
