What soft FM services do we provide?
We can provide your hospital, GP practice, health centre, or NHS office with cleaning, catering, linen and laundry, waste management, grounds maintenance and gardening, pest control, reception services, security and portering services.
How we deliver our soft FM services?
We deliver the majority of our soft FM services in-house so we have greater control over the standard and flexibility of services we provide our NHS colleagues. It’s the NHS providing to the NHS. A selected number of specialist services are provided by trusted suppliers.
We deliver these services as per an agreed schedule as well as on a reactive basis to specific incidents. If you need to report an issue impacting your building, please contact our FM Helpdesk.
Facilities Management Service Level Agreement
The Facilities Management Service Level Agreement (SLA) provides occupiers with a description of the service standards delivered in the areas they occupy exclusively and will help us drive improvements.
Take a look at a template of our facilities management service level agreement.
How did we rebalance our FM service delivery in 2019/20?
In 2019/20, we reviewed legacy contracts at 16 sites, deciding to deliver some services in-house and transfer selected services to a trusted, specialist supplier.
By doing this, we have greater control over the quality of service our customers receive, and can offer greater flexibiliy. It's the NHS providing to the NHS.
