II.4)Short description of nature and quantity or value of supplies or services:
The Metropolitan Police Service (Authority) is the largest police force in the UK. In the current challenging economic climate the organisation has achieved significant progress and change; delivering cost reductions and improved value for money, whilst continuing to provide an exemplary service to Londoners' and visitors to London. The key objectives of the Authority are to cut crime and increase public confidence whilst reducing our costs. We are therefore looking for more innovative ways to help meet these targets, and key to this is the way the property service requirements are delivered. As part of the current organisation wide change programme, the Authority is re-thinking how its' Facilities Management requirements are structured in order to meet budget savings, whilst ensuring the Authority can continue to meet the changing needs of its' estate. Prior to April 2014, the Authority's facilities management services were provided under a Total Facilities Management (TFM) arrangement, which was divided into two regional delivery locations — North of the River Thames, and South of the River Thames. From April 2014 onwards, the Authority have utilised an FM Integrator service, operated by Kellogg Brown and Root Ltd (KBR). KBR worked closely with the Authority to develop an appropriate number of service packages and lots to deliver the services previously provided by the TFM providers. The objective was to deliver greater flexibility and transparency; reduce ‘margin on margin’ of subcontracting; deliver a significant and sustainable level of savings on FM spend; and to increase the number of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) suppliers. These objectives were met through the procurement activity that appointed the supply chain that has delivered the services since April 2014. As the category strategy continues to evolve, and the desire for delivering ‘more for less’ remains, KBR is seeking to engage with the market to explore options for delivering the most appropriate service for the most competitive market cost, whilst ensuring fairness and transparency throughout. The purpose of this prior information notice (PIN) is to engage the market for the update of the MPS's sourcing strategy for facilities management services, in preparation for the tendering of these services from May 2017. Interested suppliers will be invited to participate in this market engagement that aims to provide the MPS with innovative and potentially alternative solutions that will enhance the delivery of services across the estate, reduce costs and provide better value for money.
