There is also the opportunity to explore the scope of FM services provided to operational PPP contracts. These include:
• Re-scoping the services associated with the project - transfer services to the most efficient provider of such services. This could mean bringing additional services into the PPP contract or removing services from the PPP contract and bringing the service back 'in-house'.
• Reviewing the usage of PPP assets by public authorities to assess whether other public sector services / agencies could use the asset, whether there are surplus assets that should be mothballed or whether there are third party income opportunities.
• Ensuring that any contractual benchmarking / market testing of soft services takes advantage of the current competitive environment for such services.
