two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The solution proposed should implement a single data source asset register to support the management of property (urban & rural), plant, estate management, valuations & capital accounting (IFRS), projects, surveying (condition, asbestos, legionella, trees, fire), help desk, planned maintenance, statutory compliance, grounds, structures, utilities & energy, insurance, risk assessments, CAD, GIS, suitability & sufficiency (DfE requirement).
It needs to be capable of implementation in an incremental, modular way to reflect the Council’s priorities. The system is expected to hold a full record of the Council’s ownership including leased-in assets and will be used for the management of the Council’s operational and commercial property portfolios. The Council’s aim is for an asset management service which is effective at a strategic, operational and technical level that can ensure the Council’s portfolio is statutory compliant, fit for purpose, cost efficient and in the context of the operational property portfolio contributing to the Council’s revenue budget by maximising income from its property holdings.
As some of these assets are not on the public highway, the Council is looking to explore the market for a system that accommodates not only its Local Street Gazetteer but that also gives the Council the ability to include parks, schools, playgrounds, farms etc. The system is not required to support or manage Highways’ assets.
It should support:
• The full functional requirements covering the broad scope of property activities the Council undertakes.
• Integration with other key specialist software the Council uses for Finance, Corporate GIS & capital accounting.
• Comprehensive recording of data across all the statutory compliance requirements relating to properties.
• The ability to ‘publish’ data to meet the Council’s requirement under the Transparency Code.
• Improved performance reporting, particularly for the commercial portfolio.
• Effective coordination of all property activities through use of diary alerts to ensure timely and effective actions on property matters including estate management actions.
In addition to enabling us to manage our infrastructure assets and coordinate our activities around this (e.g., maintenance and scheduling) the system will also help us to manage stakeholder communications, enable mobile working and enable the development of processes related to carbon reduction and energy efficiency.
