Assets & FM (without WCC) £1.1m

The story of the Assets & FM workstream
We have: Prioritised service areas based upon their potential for collaboration Learnt the importance of aligning policy as part of collaborative
procurement through the asbestos and water hygiene contract Explored the potential for collaboration in Catering and Cleaning
services Successfully extended the Solihull Partnership model for repairs and
maintenance so that it can be offered to other organisations, with N&B starting in 2013
Built individual positions for each authority on the feasibility of joining the Partnership contract
Our next steps are: To explore the potential for a single service for the delivery of
Assets and FM services To bring Portfolio Holders together to review options
