Management of Corporate Estates and Maintenance

The request was successful.

Dear Department of Education (Northern Ireland),

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? This refers to;
- HARD FM - refers to physical structural maintenance services eg HVAC, plumbing, mechanical & electrical maintenance contracts
- SOFT FM - people managed services eg security, cleaning, waste management contracts
- TFM - all the above included as a total contract - Total facilities management

- 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?

Yours faithfully,

Gina George
