AMA Research have published the two brand new reports:-

  • Facilities Services Provision - Local Authority Housing Market UK
  • Facilities Services Provision - Housing Association Market UK
The reports offer unique reviews of the individual markets for outsourced service provision of non-core services with a specific focus on the Local Authority (LA) and Housing Association (HA) owned social houses respectively.

The changing structure of the social housing market and pressures to achieve ‘best value for money’ is impacting on facilities services provision within the social housing sector. A wide range of approaches are currently being adopted by the LAs and HAs.

The vast majority of LAs and HAs retain the overall management of the housing stock but sub-contract out at least some of the work to external contractors. Despite the positive underlying shift towards outsourcing ‘bundled’ work activities, currently many LAs and HAs are not outsourcing overall facilities management of the social housing stock. The social housing sector is currently one of the least mature in terms of Total Facilities Management, therefore providing considerable opportunities for FM suppliers.

The reports contain a detailed assessment of these and other market trends and influences, with analysis of future prospects and potential opportunities.

Key areas covered by the reports include:

  • Specific analysis of Facilities Services within each social housing sector - extent of outsourcing, types of contracts placed, activities typically bundled, sector interest and potential future opportunities in outsourcing.
  • Analysis of expenditure - Breakdown of current and capital expenditure and analysis of management and maintenance costs in each sector.
  • Review of the leading providers - company profiles for the leading contractors of facilities services within the social housing sector.
  • Overview of the social housing sector - size, recent trends and key market influences, forecasts and future prospects.
Areas of particular interest:
  • Analysis of facilities service provision and a breakdown of the types of contracts placed with respect to the properties owned by the LAs and HAs.
  • Positive underlying shift towards outsourcing ‘bundled’ contracts, but LAs and HAs retain management of housing stocks.
  • Facilities Services market anticipated to demonstrate good growth, with social housing representing an end use sector with substantial potential opportunities in the medium to long term.
Some of the companies included:
  • Apollo Property Services Group, Carillion Facilities Management, Connaught Partnerships Ltd, Enterprise plc, Environmental Property Services plc, Exor Group, Inspace, Integral UK, Interservefm, Jeakins Weir Limited, Kier Support Services (KSS), Kinetics Group, KNK Building Services Ltd, Mears Group plc, MITIE plc, Morrison Facilities Services, Mouchel, Pinnacle Group, Quadron Services Limited, Serco Group plc, Vinci Facilities.

Additional Information

The facilities management market has shown good growth since the early 1990’s, influenced by the desire to control operational efficiencies and costs, as well as more recently a trend within the private sector for companies to refocus their business in order to concentrate on core competencies. Further growth since the turn of the millennium was influenced by the buoyant state of the economy, as well as public sector developments funded. This has contributed to an overall market value for outsourced ‘bundled’ services and TFM of almost £14.5bn in 2008. The social housing sector is currently one of the least mature in terms of FM outsourcing providing considerable opportunities for suppliers.

The two new reports specifically focus on the Local Authority owned and Housing Association owned property sectors respectively:-

  • “Facilities Management Outsourcing - Local Authority Housing Market: UK 2009-2013”
  • “Facilities Management Outsourcing - Housing Association Market: UK 2009-2013”

The changing structure of the social housing market and pressures to achieve ‘best value for money’ is impacting on the facilities services provision within the social housing sector. A wide range of approaches are currently being adopted by the Local Authorities (LAs) and Housing Associations (Has).

The vast majority of LAs and HAs retain the overall management of the housing stocks but sub-contract out at least some of the work to external contractors. Despite the positive underlying shift towards outsourcing ‘bundled’ work activities, currently many LAs and HAs are not outsourcing the overall facilities management of the social housing stock.

Work activities that are often bundled include responsive repairs and planned maintenance; in contrast home improvement contracts are generally placed as individual contracts (within our definitions) as are speciality work activities such as gas servicing and lift.

The level of ‘bundled’ contracts and total facilities management is expected to increase in the medium to long term with a corresponding decline in-house work and individual contract placement (as shown in the above chart).

The individual reports focus within their specific social housing sector and provide detailed analysis of expenditure and facilities provision within the sector.
