Thank you for your e-mail of 03 June 2024, in which you ask for information on our facilities management approach including the following:

How are facilities management services (hard FM, soft FM or TFM) handled across your estates?

If any services are outsourced, which services and to which suppliers?

What are the start dates and durations of these contracts, including the end date, and which services are included in each?

Is there an extension clause in the contract(s) and if so, what is the duration of the extension?

Has a decision been made yet on whether the contract(s) are being either extended or renewed?

What is the job title of the senior officer (outside of procurement) responsible for the contract(s)?

Do you utilise any outsourced helpdesk or FM integrator services? If so, with which supplier(s)?

Which software solution(s) are used to manage your corporate property/assets including facilities management (CAFM)?

Your request has been handled as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

The Forensic Science Regulator is a public appointee and an arms-length body of government who operates independently, on behalf of the criminal justice system. The Home Office supports my work, provides some support staff and is responsible for providing facilities, and overseeing facilities management services.

I do not hold information on the facilities management approach of our corporate estate, i.e contracts, outsourced helpdesk or FM integrator services, and software solutions.

You may wish to consider a separate request to be made to the Home Office under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act should you still require the information you have asked for.
