FM Contract Strategy
A well-structured contract strategy is essential for ensuring that facilities management (FM) services are delivered efficiently, cost-effectively, and in alignment with organisational goals. A clear contract strategy helps businesses define service expectations, optimise supplier relationships, manage risks, and ensure compliance.
At MCP Consulting Group, we assist organisations in developing, reviewing, and optimising FM contract strategies to achieve cost efficiency, service quality, and long-term operational success.
FM STRATEGY AND GOVERNANCE SUB-CATEGORIES
What is an
FM Contract Strategy
An FM contract strategy is the framework that defines how facilities management services are procured, structured, and managed. It ensures that service agreements are aligned with business objectives, performance expectations, and regulatory requirements while providing clear roles, responsibilities, and performance measures for all stakeholders.
