Working Space - Moving To a Leaner Greener Government Estate
Released on 16/07/2008
This major Office of Government Commerce event, was held at the QEII Conference Centre, London SW1, 9th July 2008.
High Performing Property is the five year strategy for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the management and use of the government estate, and for achieving a more sustainable estate. Benefits from the programme are estimated to be worth between £1bn-1.5bn per annum by April 2013 on an estate that costs around £6bn a year to run. Savings will arise from a reduction in overall space required, better space utilisation and better procurement of FM services and property leases.
To date, OGC estates division has held five very successful separate conferences (three Government Relocation conferences and two Asset Management conferences). This conference, for the first time, brought together the High Performing Property programme and the Relocation programme to focus on illustrating progress on overall property asset management improvement through real-life implementation examples.
The Conference has come at the point where much of the foundation structures and tools for HPP are in place, including mandated use of property benchmarking and standards for efficient workspace use. Looking ahead to the new vision, the emphasis must be on making it all work to create a transformed, smaller and sustainable estate by employing the tools and implementing the standards to deliver transformation.
The speaking notes from each of the plenary and breakout sessions detailed here are available by request from the OGC Service Desk.
