Asset Management - Professional Services

The Council implemented a 'Corporate Landlord Operating Model' in April 2016. The revised operating model has enabled the service to focus on continually improving asset utilisation and the efficient management of property related resources. The revised operating model means the Asset Management Team has a clear emphasis on strategic asset management tasks ensuring the Council's property estate is fit for purpose, efficient and supports the Council's core objectives and service delivery.

To support the Asset Management & Facilities Management Services to deliver an effective 'Corporate Landlord Operating Model' a range of 'Professional Valuation and Estate Management Service leading providers are required to support day to day activities such as annual asset valuations, general valuations, rent reviews, feasibility studies, building surveys and structural engineering reports.
