Chapter 9: Hard FM Maintenance Services

Chapter 9

Policy

This Chapter is largely new and builds on Chapter 7 (Services and Service Commencement) by separating out the hard FM services to be provided by the Contractor from the Authority Services.

Section 9.1.5 (Accelerated or Deferred Maintenance)

Policy

This is guidance and suitable drafting for accelerating or deferring programmed maintenance which allows the Authority some flexibility around timing of maintenance. If savings result these would be shared on expiry as provided for in Clause 9.2.10.

Section 9.2 (Lifecycle Fund)

Policy

This addresses Lifecycle savings and the requirement that they be shared at expiry (or allocated on any early termination) and includes suitable drafting.

Clauses 9.2 .10 and 9.2.11 (Lifecycle profile and Lifecycle Spend)

Policy

This is suitable drafting relating to lifecycle spend and leading to the sharing of surplus of budgeted spend over actual spend. The Authority may start deducting its share from the unitary charge [12-24] months prior to expiry .

Section 9.6 (Relaxation of Handback Requirements)

Policy

The Authority may agree to a relaxation of hand-back requirements . If this is done the savings will be shared (see also Section 10.1.2 below).
