Dear Plant Varieties and Seeds Tribunal,

I would be most grateful if you would provide me, under the Freedom of Information Act, the following information regarding your facilities management approach:
- How are facilities management services (hard FM, soft FM or TFM) handled across your estates?
- If any services are outsourced, which services and to which suppliers?
- What are the start dates and durations of these contracts, including the end date, and which services are included in each?
- What are the values of the contracts?
- Is there an extension clause in the contract(s) and if so, what is the duration of the extension?
- Has a decision been made yet on whether the contract(s) are being either extended or renewed?
- What is the job title of the senior officer (outside of procurement) responsible for the contract(s)?
- Do you utilise any outsourced helpdesk or FM integrator services? If so, with which supplier(s)?
- Which software solution(s) are used to manage your corporate property/assets including facilities management (CAFM)?

Yours faithfully,

Marta Nass
