Procurement Key Principles Key principles of the procurement and ongoing management of FM contracts:- Encouragement of inward investment within Leicestershire FM is a people based industry with both our suppliers of Hard and Soft FM predominantly being located locally and employing local people. The structured specialist frameworks of the Hard FM portfolio allow opportunity for local SME s to tender for works. Advertised through Source Leicestershire. There is an evident culture of financial challenge within all contracts which continues to provide value for money for LCC and contribute to the MTFS. Examples include inflation freeze and up front payment for negotiated discounts 15 Contracts are operated to nationally published DEFRA Government Buying Standards to ensure compliancy with environmental practices Innovated to save We actively engage with our contractors to look at ways of driving efficiency saving throughout the contract lifecycle. Change -Our contracts were specified to allow flexibility and continue to offer the LCC tailored services to the need of its own requirement and changing market conditions

Challenges External competition for FM services is extremely high and with academies convergences increasing, customers will be provided with opportunities to migrate away from LCC Traded Services.
