1.16 MOD's staffing requirements are likely to change over time and to ensure that the space in Main Building is economically and effectively used over the life of the project, it requires Modus to undertake an annual review of the use of accommodation. If MOD gives up complete floors, Modus is allowed to rent out whole floors of Main Building to others, subject to MOD's veto on who its co-tenants might be. MOD's incentive in ensuring that space is used economically and effectively is the reduction in unitary charge occasioned by the release of a whole floor.
1.17 Another aspect of ensuring space is used economically and effectively is the employment of management information which would allow MOD to identify and control its occupancy costs in line with the approach used by the private sector. MOD recognises that it needs to identify and set targets for key performance indicators such as annual occupancy costs per workplace. MOD also wishes to make staff aware of the cost of the space they utilise and is exploring the introduction of a charging regime for occupants, which could involve business units paying for their workspace and dedicated support space and a proportion of the common user areas.
