Outcome is a link with the Sustainability Forum & it will provide a

The framework was discussed:
FM Liaison Point – people we should be talking to
Tendering – Identifies a particular procurement route
Capital- may not necessarily be new build
Manage – Operate? may breakdown further at a later stage
PFI – maybe too specific
Leased – better definition? E.g. Investment
FM role/Project – Identify skills gap
Owned – owner/ occupier also full repair lease
AI asked if there was a cross with Susie Edwards BRE work – BRE
work to act as a tool within this one.
JU queried if there are known statistics of how many FM’s are
involved & at what stage. GL explained only probably 5% operate
full spectrum.
SS to investigate, or see if info could be captured within next FM
