High Performing Property - Implementation Plan launched
Released on 30/03/2007
The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) has published the implementation plan that will underpin High Performing Property, launched by the Chief Secretary to the Treasury in November 2006. It is the Government's five year strategy for transforming the management and use of the civil estate.
The government estate is a significant liability in terms of cost. Fully implemented High Performing Property will realise savings of between £1 billion and £1.5 billion a year by 2013. High Performing Property was highlighted in Transforming Government Procurement as a key component of OGC's new authority and the High Performing Property Implementation Plan identifies, in more detail, the actions needed to achieve the significant step change that is required.
The implementation plan sets out the progress that has been made since the launch and the improvements that need to be made over the next four years. Key targets, in the areas of leadership, standards and skills are emphasised. It also requires Accounting Officers and senior officials to be ready to address the workforce issues that arise out of decisions about the locations from which business is delivered, and from the improvements made to the use of workspace.
High Performing Property will be the firm basis against which delivery of a transformed government estate and realisation of the efficiency and effectiveness gains and savings will be measured and reported. The plan recognizes, with examples, that there have been some notable successes on achieving efficiencies and value for money and sets the expectation that these successes be replicated across the estate.
