## Summary

Walsall Council is currently engaged in an award stage for the procurement titled "WP3324 - Asset Management Service Review." This procurement falls under the industry category of business and management consultancy services, focused on delivering an independent review of the Council's Asset Management service. The location for this contract is within the West Midlands, specifically Walsall (postal code WS1 1TP). The contract, which is valued at £27,500, had an award date of 22nd May 2017 and will run from 30th May 2017 to 28th July 2017. The procurement method applied is an open procedure.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms, particularly those specialising in asset management and organisational audits. Businesses that have experience working with local authorities or public sector organisations would be especially well-suited to compete. With Walsall Council facing substantial financial pressures, there is also potential for innovative solutions that focus on efficiency, cost savings, and service improvement to be highly attractive. Participation in this tendering process could lead to further engagements with the Council or similar local government bodies in the future.

## Notice

Walsall Council are inviting bidders to submit a quotation for consultancy services to provide an independent review and audit of its existing Asset Management service, processes and practices, and subsequently outline prioritised recommendations/ strategy for improvement in line with the services' key functions and aims. As with all local authorities, Walsall Council is experiencing significant financial challenges. Since the Emergency Budget of 2010 when Government set out its initial plans to reduce the overall Government deficit, the Council has reduced its spending by PS84million and needs to save a further PS86million between 2016/17 to 2019/20 in order to balance the budget. As part of the budget savings and efficiencies already made, the restructuring of the Council's Property Services area was implemented in 2015/16. This process resulted in the merging and repositioning of teams into the following: Asset Management Structure: Regeneration and Development service area within the Economy and Environment Directorate Role: Acquisition and disposal of property assets; year-end statutory asset valuations; professional property advice; and rental and management of a commercial portfolio. Integrated Facilities Management Structure: IFM service area within the Change and Governance Directorate Role: Programme and commissioning; commercial management (contract and performance management); energy management; and soft FM services (cleaning, caretaking, curators). Post the restructuring process the Council is now seeking an independent audit of the Asset Management functions and processes and a prioritised phased strategy for service improvement and refinement to help the Council achieve its corporate and business objectives within a challenging financial environment.
