In 2014, upon the reopening of the Lambeth Road site, IWM Director General, Diane Lees said:
The objects on display will give a voice to the people who created them, used them, or cared for them. They will reveal the stories not only of destruction, suffering and loss, but also endurance and innovation; duty and devotion; comradeship and love.
As the IWM Facilities Services partner, we will work tirelessly to ensure protection of these important assets, exhibits, historical objects and archives for future generations.

Introduction Imperial War Museums (‘IWM’) is a global authority on conflict. As guardian to vast and rich historical archives, collections and sites of national importance, we understand IWM’s responsibility of protecting them and mutually engaging audiences to tell the story of conflict. It is the unique collection and accessibility to many of the items (such as the 19,000 works of art, the 17,000 documents, six million photographs, aircraft and armoured vehicles) that drew over 2.8 million visitors to IWM branches in the last year. In order to continue achieving increased visitor numbers (like the 20% rise from last year’s target), as your Facilities Services Partner we know how important it is to support you, and work with you to meet the three key Strategic Objectives of the IWM Corporate Plan. • Prioritise our audiences • Increase our financial sustainability • Deliver effective stewardship of our collection
The following pages of this document will demonstrate that CBRE has the experience, technical capability, understanding, supporting processes, technology and systems to work with IWM as your Facilities Services (hard and soft) Partner.

Protecting history and planning for the future Throughout this tender process we have worked to understand the IWM history and culture, strategic objectives and purpose. Coupled with information learned during the site visits to branches and our experience and understanding of museums, galleries, public spaces and critical environments, our proposal is based upon generating a long-term collaborative partnership, whilst aligning facilities services to the IWM extended Corporate Plan and Strategic Objectives. We will self-deliver strategic, technically complex hard services to the IWM estate in a safe, efficient and sustainable manner and work with the soft services partners to deliver a ‘best in class’ service across the estate. Benefiting IWM, we will prove our service adds value by providing bottom line savings that support achieving increased financial sustainability. With management and guidance from our experts such as Craig Campbell, Business Unit Director and Martin Shaw, Proposed Account Manager, our offering and team are designed to provide the following benefits to IWM:

Museums, galleries and heritage listed buildings National Gallery We have been working with the National Gallery since 2002. We have a team of 19 and conduct a broad range of services, maintaining a safe and suitable environment for all staff, art work and the 6.4 million visitors through the Gallery doors every year. The National Gallery, opened in 1838, is a Grade One listed property and houses one of the greatest collections of paintings in the world. Similarly to the IWM it is committed to conserving its collection whilst allowing free access to the public. Our primary focus is maintaining the site mechanical and electrical equipment to a high standard in order to assist the Gallery in achieving their objectives. We primarily work with the Buildings Department, however we also work closely with Scientific, Conservation, Exhibitions, Registrars and Curatorial to ensure that we understand all their needs and can assist them in their activities wherever possible. Our team has also been working with the Scientific Department in achieving optimum lighting and air temperature levels to ensure minimal damage to paintings over the time they are on display. We maintain all M&E services and fabric services, including lifts, Sigma and Trend BMS, HV, and steam etc. There is a large emphasis on environmental control within Gallery areas, temperature has to be maintained within 1⁰C and humidity within 5%RH, during occupied hours lighting must also be maintained within 30 Lux. The lighting system is very complex, BMS and Ligo lighting systems are combined to control external blinds and LED lighting in order to maximise use of natural daylight whilst preventing over exposure of paintings.

Museums, galleries and heritage listed buildings We understand the uniqueness of the IWM estate and the importance of delivering efficient facilities services that recognises these differing environments within each branch and department is fundamental. Furthermore, the safety, wellbeing and experience of both the public and staff is a critical element to the successful day-to-day running of each IWM branch. We provide services to many multi-site, historic museums and galleries that have heritage listing. We protect our customers buildings, collections and archives. This can be demonstrated through our environmental control of the main Jewel House at the Tower of London which houses the Crown Jewels.

Trafalgar Square and the Greater London Authority, City Hall (joint contract) – Trafalgar Square is one of the most famous landmarks in the world and the GLA (City Hall) building one of the most recognisable in London. Both present CBRE with interesting challenges around managing areas of public space and bespoke projects including putting up the Christmas Tree at Trafalgar Square to preparing for Lord Mayors Question Time at the GLA. We support the visits of many VIP visitors to the GLA.
Royal Academy of Arts – We provide mechanical and electrical maintenance alongside extra works, fabric and projects to this Grade II listed building. This contract is a first time outsource, and our demonstration of capability and thorough understanding of maintaining Heritage listed buildings supported our bid. As the gallery moves towards its 250th anniversary in 2018, CBRE will support the RA Strategic Plan in redeveloping the site to improve gallery spaces and education facilities.
Relevance to IWM • Museum and gallery environments • Environmental control required to protect collections and artefacts • Heritage listing • High footfall numbers • Dynamic and fast paced environment • Planning and collaboration with key stakeholders • High levels of customer service required • High levels of security, and health and safety compliance • Support of events and VIPS • Planned works scheduled around opening hours • Robust disaster and business continuity planning is essential

Heritage Listed buildings We understand the historical significance and the importance of protecting the Listed buildings of the IWM estate. By preserving the hangars at Duxford and protecting Lambeth Road, it also means we can do our bit to protect and conserve history. We will work closely with relevant members of the IWM team to ensure all aspects of our service are compliant to requirements of IWM, Historic England and English Heritage.
Having worked on these sites for a number of years we are experienced in liaising with English Heritage on their requirements to protect and promote England’s spectacular historic environment. As such we can conduct a complete ‘project management’ service and will take on the responsibility of liaising with the various bodies.

Bespoke Listed Building Training We have developed a bespoke training course around Managing Change in Historic Buildings which covers all relevant regulatory requirements. The course considers the history of conservation, charters, values and statements of significance. It includes case studies and current heritage protection legislation and the production and use of Conservation Plans. It increases our operative’s knowledge and understanding of building conservation and will assist in delivering exceptional service to IWM across Listed areas of the estate. Our employees that are required to work across the Listed buildings will complete this three day course.
Events, public venues and other buildings with high footfall Relevance to IWM • Delivery of Planned and Reactive M&E and Fabric Maintenance • High footfall volumes • Full help desk provision • Event support • High levels of security, and health and safety compliance • Exceptional customer service required • Collaboration and relationships with departmental heads and event teams • Robust disaster and business continuity planning is essential
Wembley Stadium Since 2008 CBRE has been responsible for the engineering services at Wembley Stadium which has a capacity of 90,000. Here we work closely with our customer to drive a ‘One Team’ approach and undertake both M&E and planned and reactive fabric maintenance as well as a range of project works.
In 2013, our Energy Champion on-site worked closely with the Energy and Environment team at Wembley Stadium to achieve certification to ISO 14001, the International standard that sets out the criteria for an environmental management system and its implementation.
Since 2008 we have undertaken nearly 30,000 PPM tasks and we provide event support services on a range of large scale sporting and music events such as the FA Cup, the NFL International Series and big band names such as Take That and Robbie Williams.

• undertaken 4,000 PPM Tasks
Our team includes a Customer Service Manager who works closely with the Wembley team on detailed event planning, stakeholder management and collaboration and performance improvement initiatives. The two site based help desk operatives report to the Customer Service Manager.
• issued 1,244 Authority to Works
We issue around 1,000 permits to work annually (for both CBRE and direct Wembley sub-contractors) and maintain the forced air vacuum system. Using the expertise of CBRE, Wembley was the first stadium to use a specialist abseiling crew to clean the floodlights. This addressed the visual degradation due to dust and dirt covering the luminaries which affected the required lux levels on the pitch. Innovations we have bought to site include swipe card access to plant rooms, implementation of the CBRE Permit to Work system, installation of press benches, floodlight cleaning and scoreboard lighting improvements. We also recently remobilised the contract to implement full Seven day shift cover.
Achievements in the last 12 months: • undertaken 11,500 Reactive Tasks • received 16,500 Helpdesk Calls annually • acted on 10,400 email requests to the Helpdesk annually • issued 645 Permits to Work between July 2014 and March 2015 • reported and rectified 201 Hazards

Soft services excellence In our experience from across the industry and more specifically, public attractions, single service contracts provide higher performance levels, better resilience and greater levels of value for money. However, the CBRE solution will provide flexibility to IWM making it possible to contract with us for either Hard services alone, or combined services of both Hard and Soft services. With the CBRE model, both options will provide high performance levels Our model is simple and uncomplicated. It is based on CBRE self-delivering hard and fabric services, reception, portering and event support, and partnering with the best cleaning provider suited to IWM geographies and organisational culture. This will deliver a higher service quality rather than trying to self-deliver non-core services. The benefit to the IWM of the CBRE model, means that you can have a truly ‘best in class’ service. We will add value through an efficient management structure, single point of contact and robust performance improvement and governance processes. Our model will deliver a ‘best in class’ and customer focussed service, whilst creating supply chain efficiencies and providing IWM with one consolidated invoice, reducing administration time and cost.
Introducing LCC Cleaning Services We have chosen LCC Cleaning Services as our cleaning partner best suited for IWM. LCC have been a key partner to CBRE for a number of years and currently work with us across a vast array of contracts. Some of these include: Alcatel, The AA, AXA, Citrix, Dunnhumby, The Forum, University of Essex, UPS and Vertu.
Opportunity to network with other CBRE soft service partners The Annual CBRE Supply Partner event gives LCC and our other soft services partners, the opportunity to showcase their business offering and innovations to a wide audience of CBRE employees and customers. LCC regularly exhibits at our event. This is a unique aspect to our model and the development of collaborative relationships, as it allows our supply partners to network with other cleaning partners used throughout the CBRE business.
LCC won ‘Supplier of the Year’ in 2014 at the CBRE Supply Partner Event Global Soft Services community Within the CBRE business we have a global soft services community which is led by our Global Soft Service Product & Standards Director. This Community currently contains over 200 members and is a forum to share ideas for operational delivery and performance management, pose questions, and learn about the best practices and innovations. The community helps us deliver exceptional services through our soft services partners. As a member of the Global Soft Services community, Craig Campbell will guide and support LCC, always ensuring that the services we are providing to you are the most efficient, up to date and technologically advanced.

University of Essex The University of Essex is a public research university whose first and largest campus is located near the town of Colchester. The university exhibits an international character with 132 countries represented in its student body. The Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in 2008 ranked Essex ninth in the UK for the quality of its research with more than 90% of research recognised internationally for its quality, with 22% of research rated as ‘World Leading’. The university is referenced by QS World University Rankings as a world leader in social science, with internationally recognised strengths in the humanities.
Our Solution
Working closely with our specialist ‘best in class’ supply partners we have been able to develop a ‘One Team’ approach to delivering the FM services across site. We have a number of dance studios and theatres which have particularly specialist requirements for cleaning and M&E, maintaining specialist lights and chilling equipment to maintain constant conditions for activity, and these areas are also open to the public for certain purposes. On a day-to-day basis we utilise our security and cleaning teams to be our eyes and ears of the University. They will self-report on damage to the building and hazards, carry out furniture checks, with all of this is being logged and recorded through the CAFM system. This approach helps us maintain the building appearance and creates a proactive culture.
We were awarded to University of Essex Contract in late 2011 following a OJEU process. Our Contract with the University of Essex expanded in 2013 to include their new, state of the art site at The Forum in Southend. The site has public facing areas which are open to members (including non-student members from the public) where we look after all cleaning, hard services, fabric, security, grounds, waste & hygiene services, porterage and ad-hoc moves and changes.
Relevance to IWM • Collaboration and relationships with site estates team • Fully integrated service included soft services • LCC cleaning partner • High volume of people • Co-ordination of events • Multi-functional buildings • High volume of people (residents, visitors and events) • Exceptional customer service, partnership and collaboration charter • Management of CAFM system and helpdesk
Over the last four years U of E has developed an excellent relationship with CBRE, who have delivered a Soft & Hard FM Services at our Southend Campus. In this time they have helped develop and supported our growth in the Southend Campus from 12,000 sq m to 33,000 sq m where we now cater for over 3,000 students on a 24/7 365 basis. They have excelled at supporting our change in focus towards student satisfaction which has seen us rise over the duration of the partnership from being in the top 20s to 2nd place in over 100 main stream Universities. Their service delivery model is first in class as it is flexible, responsive and adaptable to the growing needs of the campus. I look forward to building on the relationship with CBRE as we strive for the Top Spot in student satisfaction. Mark Vinter, Deputy Director of Estates

Collaboration, partnership and stakeholder engagement In line with 3.17 of the hard services specification and 3.16 of the soft services specification, we recognise our responsibility in meeting the three critical factors of the contract; trust, communication and recognition of mutual aims. In meeting these critical factors, we will not be afraid to do things differently and will continually look forward, taking into account the unique needs of the IWM as a whole and the individual priorities of each branch and individual department. We know that each of the branches are far more than just public facing museums/attractions and as a research institution and organisation focussed on protecting and storing a collection with millions of pieces, additional considerations such as understanding and engaging with researchers, employees of each department and other service partners is of upmost importance. Moreover, due to the nature of the collections, archives and the branches themselves, we understand the importance of working closely with the IWM Security management team and subcontractor management team. We will develop our relationships across all key stakeholders and departments and will collectively search for and share better ways of working and make sustainable and measurable improvements of all processes, standards, technologies and working practices. Ultimately our goal for the contract is to develop a long-term partnership where we support the IWM as a ‘trusted advisor’. We will develop our relationship with you through collaborative working practices and an integrated and ‘One Team’ ethos ensuring all aspects of our service are aligned to support the IWM Strategic plan. We detail some of our initiatives that will support generating a collaborative partnership across all key stakeholders of the IWM.

This role will also work with the curatorial team to facilitate safe working practices of subcontractors by providing support in the planning and monitoring of work carried on each exhibition to develop consistency and safety across each of branch. Our team will regularly liaise with Event Managers, the security team and the catering teams to ensure smooth running of all events. A ‘conservation champion’ from both the hard services and cleaning teams will play a vital role in working with the Conservation Department and other stakeholders across IWM to ensure IWM assets, collections, archives and exhibits are protected in line with IWM Conservation Policies. We will share best practice and teachings from other CBRE contracts such as the National Gallery, Wembley Stadium, the NEC Group venues, and contracts we operate within critical environment. Develop a ‘trusted advisor’ relationship by providing legislative and industry updates and best practice to the IWM team. Do our part ensuring supporting the events department and conducting pre and post event checks.

Collaborative relationship with supply partners
We have the experts in our business to create real value and cost savings to IWM through optimising the estate. Our in-house Transaction Management Team can support the IWM in the management of acquisitions, disposals, lease renewals and dilapidations across the portfolio. This will be especially useful in considering ongoing management and utilisation of storage areas.
Regular dialogue and engagement with our supply chain partners ensures we foster collaborative relationships and look to improve services for our customers through their ideas and specialist expertise. The Annual CBRE Supply Partner Event in October gives SMEs and local supply partners the opportunity to showcase their business offering and innovations to a wide audience of CBRE Contract Managers and customers.
In addition, our Consultancy Team has the capability to advise in the development of a portfolio-wide real estate strategy and optimisation plan, corporate real estate organisational planning, demographic analysis, alternative workplace solutions, moves and changes, complex financial analysis and land-use planning.
We will also hold supplier workshops with our key specialist sub-contractors and the IWM FM team with the aim of generating added value initiatives. This will promote communication with our suppliers and will ensure that best practice and innovation ideas are shared.
For example, the Consultancy Team can work with you to develop a meaningful workplace strategy as the All Saints building increases in occupancy. Creating a good workplace strategy can ultimately increase workplace productivity.
Our most recent addition to support collaboration with our supply chain is the ‘Dragons Den’. This initiative provides the opportunity for our sub-contractors to pitch their ‘Exceptional Ideas’ to our procurement board and team of experts for further consideration and implementation.
‘One Team’ at the NEC Group At the NEC, in 2013, having transferred approximately 120 staff from the incumbent contractor, we undertook a major transition programme designed to align service delivery with our customers own strategy, culture & behaviours. This was only possible by embedding our management team within theirs, which in practice meant that our management team share office space, attending meetings, joint training and development programmes together. They all take part in CSR activities together and the creation of joint newsletters. The contract induction video focuses specifically on the values of the NEC Group, meaning from the moment an individual starts on site they are being introduced to working the NEC way, and their priorities and goals are at forefront of everything we do.
World Class QHSE: One Message, One Focus, One Team Our QHSE Team has worked collaboratively with industry bodies, customers and supply partners to deliver a series of initiatives to continually improve health & safety and set performance standards that become benchmarks for others to follow. Mid-year, the team conducted Scenario Training for managers across the business in which several of our customers also attended as ‘observers’. This further demonstrates our robust understanding of health & safety compliance and builds our reputation to customers as a trusted advisor. Scenario training is an integral part to improving health and safety performance since we can apply our knowledge of process and procedure to a predefined scenario and learn from any gaps, which in turn allows us to better respond to these situations should they arise. We have also run a series of Electrical Safety seminars across the business, run in collaboration with the HSE and IET. Since the first seminar at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham in May 2015 and upon conclusion of the last at York College seminar, we will have delivered the important message of managing electrical risk to over 1,000 managers, sub-contractors and customers. Peter Thorne, Head of Health & Safety KPMG, “Thanks for the opportunity to join and view the training event; this was well constructed and well delivered; good investment of my time”.

Event and air show support We understand that self-generated income is a priority of the IWM and in addition to donations, memberships and patronage, the revenue generated from events and air shows are of significant importance. Whilst there are numerous events and VIP functions across each branch (as well as three major air shows at Duxford), there is always opportunity for more. In order to generate further interest from corporates and potential event customers, IWM must continue with the name of being an exceptional provider of events. As part of overall customer satisfaction, the smooth running of events and the fundamental safety aspect to preparing air shows, we understand the impact that as your facilities services partner, we can have. Whether this be full lift availability to move tables and chairs during event set-up, the set up of marquees at Duxford, helpdesk response times to cleaning issues or maintaining temperature control during an event - We know this plays a part to making and event successful. Demonstrating our understanding of event support and in-line with 6.18 of the hard services specification and 6.1.21 of the soft services specification, we detail some of the ways in which we will support the overall event process:
24
Days before an event Scenario Testing
CBRE Pre Event Action Plans (PEAPs)
During the course of the year and within the IWM event calendar, we will have selected days where we will carry out scenario tests with our team. This testing will be in addition to IWM led exercises. This is to make sure that everyone is prepared for different incidents that may occur during events and air shows, and that we provide engaged staff working in an environment that takes a long-term view of risk reduction. This will always be done at an agreed time with the IWM FM team.
In the days prior to a major event we will follow a IWM specific Pre event action plan (PEAP) which will be split between hard services and soft services. This is where we will conduct a specific event checklist that will include a combination of risk assessments, inspections, checks and minor repairs in preparation for the specific event area to be signed off as safe.
PPM Planning We will plan the majority of PPM works around the IWM event calendar, we know that unplanned events or functions may fall on certain dates and within areas that PPMs have been scheduled for. We will clearly identify PEAPs (Pre event action plans) and PPM activities that overlap and provide a suitable solution on how this will be dealt with within the scheduled works programme.
Event Team Sheet At minimum of 24 hours prior to large events, our final and confirmed event team sheet will be circulated to the IWM FM team, Events and Security team. Our team sheet will include all rostered employees and specialist sub-contractors such as fire safety and lifts as required. Craig Campbell, Business Unit Director will also be included in our team sheet as part of our escalation process such as in the event of any emergency arising.
Pre Event Action Plan (PEAP) Toolbox Talk Toolbox talks will be given in the days prior to a large event and air show, detailing specific procedures as well as discussing lessons learnt from events. For example, prior to an air show, cleaners will be given a toolbox talk giving one final reiteration of the correct method of collecting and disposing of rubbish and an efficient and safe manner during the event.
Day of event Inspection
Appearance Check
On the day of an event, our duties will include completing our Pre event action plan (PEAPs) check sheets from the day before. PEAPs checks will be split between hard services and soft services. The PEAPs include focus on event day critical equipment and the PA system, and include tasks such as ensuring all toilets facilities are operating correctly including taps and fittings, urinals and toilet drainage is free running and the opportunity for blockages minimised as far as possible
As shift begins the FM Manager will conduct a correct uniform and overall appearance check of the shift team.
Pre Event M&E and Cleaning Briefing Ensuring a successful event is centred around preparation and planning. We will ensure that our Account or Contract Manager will host a briefing session, separately with the hard services and the soft services team,drawing in all of our planning and preparation to ensure smooth operations during the event or air show. This will include the dedicated on-site, help desk team member. We would encourage that a key IWM team member attend.
Event Experience Checklist Our process of conducting a Visitor Experience Checklist is to look ‘through the eyes of a visitor’. Conducted each day, the checklist is a walk around spot-check checklist for front of house areas of each branch. Conducted prior to opening hours and beginning at the main entrances, it will follow a path that visitors and will take during their visit. The Event Experience Checklist is a different checklist and will focus on the soft experience elements. During the walk around the ‘spotter’ will look for issues such as building fabric and flooring, lights, rubbish and potential hazards.

Event and air show support During the event
Post event
Fire Safety
Event Response Methodology
Incident Report
A nominated and trained Fire Warden will be on shift and will include employees with fire extinguisher training.
During a major event or air show we will ensure:
Before the end of shift, a brief summary of any significant incidents and their corrective actions will be reported to the IWM FM team.
Help Desk
• Managers available for escalated/ serious incidents
We will maintain a fully operational on-site helpdesk during events providing a single point of contact for Event Managers and IWM employees on all FM issues – cleaning, maintenance, technical, catering and logistics. Every call will be assessed appropriately, logged and feedback to be continually provided on progress to the relevant stakeholders.
Damages or Breakages Any damage and breakages caused during an event can be extremely diverse and time consuming. Our priority here is to make safe in the first instance and repair if at all possible. Communication back to the helpdesk is very important as all tasks will and must be signed off as completed or needing future repair once the event has closed.
26
• All incidents are dealt with at the appropriate level
• Contract Manager based within close proximity to event and or helpdesk
Post Event Dilapidations The team will conduct a post event dilapidation report which as appropriate, will be provided to the Event Manager.
• Engineering and cleaning support distributed around near to the event for prompt response
Shift Handover
• Specialist engineering support available on site if assessed as being required
As per regular procedure a full shift handover will be conducted
During major events and air shows we will have high levels of technical skill, knowledge, experience and a team commitment that will ensure any risk is minimised. We understand there is a large range of potential issues that could possibly occur during a major event and that is why our shift/event team will be flexible and have the key skills and competencies to operate.
Lessons Learned A lessons learned session will be conducted and as necessary, will be communicated via toolbox talks and additional training. Where necessary, we will adjust procedure (in agreement with IWM).
Prioritising your audience and increasing customer satisfaction As a company, we are driven by customer feedback and we have the determination to constantly develop and deliver, to meet and exceed the expectations of our customers. Customer service to us means providing an exceptional service to the IWM FM team, to your employees, key stakeholders and most importantly, your visitors across each branch. Exceptional customer service is fundamental to maintaining the reputation of the IWM as a world leading authority on conflict and continuing to increase visitor numbers. Outside of the exhibits and exhibitions themselves, providing exceptional customer service and enhancing the visitor experience forms one of the most important aspects to daily operations across each of the IWM branches. We know how important Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) funding is to the IWM and in order to maintain this, the DCMS has specified a percentage of visitors that must recommend visiting the IWM branches as a form of measurement. We will do our bit to ensure the number of visitors who would recommend a visit is reached as we know that anything from a loose floor tile, leaky tap or dirty bathroom can play an impact on overall visitor satisfaction. We recognise that although we will wear CBRE branded clothing, we still represent the IWM team and with a high element of customer service required across this contract, we want to make sure that we not only get the basics right, but that our people have the training, tools and understanding to go the extra mile and exceed all expectations of the IWM team and visitors. We detail some of the initiatives we suggest rolling out to support and develop enhancing visitor experience.
The demographics of visitors across IWM is varied and an important part to enhancing visitor experience is to understand differing cultures and behaviours. As part of our customer service training, we will conduct sessions on cultural training. An appropriate and agreed triage system and helpdesk process will be developed during mobilisation to ensure response to reactive calls across all service lines can be as fast as possible. Collaborative customer service training and sharing best practice with the soft service partner that are front of house based, will support enhancing the visitor experience. During bespoke site inductions conducted for employees and sub-contractors, we will include a segment on ‘understanding visitors and stakeholders’ to ensure our team and specialist service partners are focussed on enhancing visitor experience. It is possible to utilise CBRE consultants to improve the IWM experience of visitors by creating better circulation the grounds of branches, such as HMS Belfast, increasing capacity and providing better information to reduce queuing. Visitor Experience Checklist – Our process of conducting a visitor experience checklist is to look ‘through the eyes of a visitor’. It is a daily walk around spot-check checklist for front of house areas of each site, and most especially Lambeth Road. It will be conducted prior to opening hours of each branch and begin at each entrance and follow a path that visitors may take. During the walk around the ‘spotter’ will look issues such as building fabric and flooring, lights, cleaning requirements, emergency lighting etc. The responsibility of conducting the visitor experience checklist would be rotated each day to a different engineer so that we don’t miss the little things. It also adds variety and focus to the walk-arounds.
We will work closely with all departments within the IWM to support you in reaching new audiences and retaining repeat visitors and further ‘prioritising your audiences. It is clear to see that in order to prioritise your audience the IWM will require CBRE to support them in a range of departments that include, curatorial, research, events and visitor services. Our experience in these varied environments will not only provide benefit to the IWM FM team but to all staff working for IWM. Create a monthly bespoke IWM service partner recognition programme for all FM service employees that rewards exceptional service provides an opportunity ‘shout about’ the things we do well, whilst encouraging engagement from our internal customers such as back of house IWM employees. CBRE Exceptional Journey training which is focussed on our core behaviours (Understanding customer needs; Responsiveness; Competence to deliver (Statutory, H&S and Contract Compliant; Accessibility & Innovation) will instil a visitor and exceptional service focus across the contract.
We will work with you to ensure the visitor experience is of the highest quality.

Making use of technology According to research* for the UK museum sector, it is suggested that three quarters of UK museum visitors now come equipped with mobile and tablets. However, given that a large percentage of visitors are international visitors, presumably with only WIFI access, promoting the use of the free WIFI at the IWM plays an important part to beginning the engagement process with visitors. We know we need to fully understand the motivation and needs of the IWM departments to create an atmosphere that offers a range of experiences. It is all about pulling down barriers and allowing visitor involvement and engagement. Some of our ideas to support this include:
IWM ‘Scan and Share’ App Development Whilst the Scan and Share app is an exceptional demonstration of engaging with visitors, the inclusion of a visitor experience and facilities focused questionnaire could be included within the app. Currently the app is more specific towards feedback on exhibits, however if simple questions covering the below would support overall measurement of customer experience across the branches.
Enhancing QR Code Usage Additional use of QR codes in back of house areas to provide links to a portal to report reactive call outs to the helpdesk. Additional QR codes can also be used in front of house areas such as toilet facilities to allow visitors to report problems or rate cleanliness directly to the helpdesk.
• Overall satisfaction • Overall responses to the galleries and exhibits • Practical information, staff, cleanliness and queuing • Likelihood of recommending • Likelihood of visiting again
‘Step Jockey’
*As quoted by Mark Piesing in, In Digital; ‘How UK Museums Use Mobile Tech to Enhance Visitor Experience’
30
A process to interact with visitors and employees which will provide encouragement to use stairs instead of lifts. This is achieved through use of QR codes and art. The ‘Step Jockey’ initiative will also provide feedback on reduction of lift usage.
What is?... ‘The Knowledge Training’ The Knowledge is a training initiative that we developed for contracts we hold at large venues, galleries and museums open to the general public. Some of these include: The National Gallery, The Tower of London and Wembley Stadium. It takes its inspiration from the London Taxi Driver’s knowledge exams and the requirement that they must know their way around every London street. As a customer facing environment it is likely that our team may be asked questions such as directions to the nearest toilet facilities, cloak rooms or taxi ranks. What this means in practice is that we will train our team, or anybody who is likely to come into contact with the public and visitors whilst carrying out their duties, in the layout specifics of the branch or branches that they are working on . They will know their way around every nook and cranny, including the location of current exhibitions, toilet facilities, exits, cloak rooms, taxi ranks etc.
Customer Satisfaction Surveys Understanding and analysing customer service will support us in further developing and enhancing our service to the IWM. Our formal measure of customer feedback is formed as part of our Quality Management System, which is a monthly performance audit document that will include direct feedback from the IWM FM team. Additionally, we will measure customer feedback through KPIs set during mobilisation. These will be reported and visible in real-time to the IWM FM team through our Contract Portal.
• Ad-hoc Feedback provided by the IWM FM team, departmental heads, service partners and key stakeholders
Other ways in which we will gather feedback in order to analyse and improve our service include:
Results of customer satisfaction surveys will be tracked through technology systems, from this we establish trends to develop ways to focus on improving customer and visitor experience and highlighting key areas of improvement.
• Bespoke FM Customer Satisfaction Surveys i.e. instant surveys on engineer PDA devices or future development of an app on tablet technology • Help Desk feedback – automatic surveys sent from the Helpdesk to the requester of each reactive task • Monthly Net Promoter Scores from the IWM FM team as part of our monthly Contract Manager audit process
• Daily interactions and Monthly Management meetings • Post event and air show debriefs • Feedback received through IWM ‘owned and led’ initiatives • Strategy Days, Innovation Workshops and Contract Annual Reviews
In areas of improvement, we will create action plans to rectify and increase performance. Likewise, for continually good service, we will increase our targets to ensure we are constantly striving to improve.

It is recognised by the British Quality Foundation and through its stringent annual assessments, encourages the development of best practice in the hospitality and customer service sectors.
Maintenance regimes Business Focussed Maintenance We will immediately conduct an initial review of the current maintenance regime, offering suggestions and improvements to the current planned schedules. Our suggestions will include incorporating elements of business focussed maintenance, and quick win energy efficient PPM planning. We understand there is limited data currently available, however we expect that after six months on-site, we will have historical data to allow us to greater understand the plant and assets of the IWM estate. We will conduct a full maintenance strategy review with the aim to apply BSRIA’s Business Focused Maintenance Approach. This will be led by the Account Manager, Martin Shaw and supported by the Technical Manager. A business focussed maintenance approach will meet the requirements of 6.2.33 of the specification and encompasses condition based maintenance techniques such as thermal imaging, vibration analysis and optimisation of building management systems (BMS). Within this method the use of a maintained risk register, SPOF reports (single point of failures) and forward maintenance register will allow for educated decisions in relation to the maintenance plans for all types of assets within the IWM estate.
asset failure and allow for corrective action/system improvements to be implemented in a planned environment which reduces or removes any disruption to any of the IWM sites.
Innovations in Maintenance Regimes In delivering innovations to the planned maintenance provision we will continually research and advise on potential opportunities. Across the business, our management teams hold regular reviews and work with other CBRE technical teams in ensuring that new and best practices are considered across all our services. Possible alternative planned maintenance regimes that can be discussed moving forward include: • Building Focused Maintenance Package – tailoring PPM to the actual use of each site in the estate • Critical Asset Based – aligning PPM to critical plant issues • Energy Based – ensuring maximum energy saving potentials are achieved.
Business focused maintenance will allow for a bespoke maintenance strategy suited to the key drivers of the IWM estate strategy. It will also benefit the risk management process by taking into account various conditions that can indicate
Did you know? BSRIA is the Building Services Research and Information Association. One of its core activities is to carry out research into innovative solutions on how to operate buildings. This includes design, installation, construction, and commissioning and maintenance operation. BSRIA together with CIBSE and the HVCA were looking at methods to establish some science behind determining the type of planned maintenance that should be carried out within buildings e.g. a new building as opposed to a 20 year old building, a critical and non-critical environment. Business Focused Maintenance was a collaborative research project spanning two years where experts engaged with industry key stakeholders who were willing to take part in the project. There was and still is consensus that generic maintenance regimes such as SFG 20 should be challenged and that maintenance should be aligned to the core business activity carried out with the building. Paddy Hastings, Technical Manager of CBRE, was asked by BSRIA to head up the team and carry out the data gathering from different types of businesses and buildings to put together a toolkit that the industry can use to categorise their buildings and align their maintenance accordingly.
After years of research, Paddy led the project which resulted in the BSRIA Business-Focussed Maintenance guide (which can be provided to IWM if required). The IWM will have unique access to Paddy’s expertise as he will be the Technical Manager aligned to the contract.
The purpose of maintenance should be to ensure that the service levels required by the business are sustained. Schedules should be customised to take account of the diversity of plant and their operational circumstances.

Business Focussed Maintenance We have experience of providing Business Focused Maintenance type regimes to several notable contracts currently delivered by CBRE teams. These include examples such as KPMG, Wembley Stadium, British Airways and Morgan Stanley. At British Airways, regimes consider critical aspects such as aircraft hangers and passenger lounges where downtime and client perceptions are seen as critical. Office/commercial and areas back of house reflect less of an impact where maintenance activities have been reduced. Similarly, with Morgan Stanley we have worked with the customer teams in identifying high risk – communication and dealer areas to lower risk areas such as back of house secondary systems. In both cases reductions in staff numbers have been available and reductions implemented.

NEC Group - Removal of Permit to Work Duplication At the NEC, when we took over the contract were required to issue Permit to Work for our own sub-contractors and a representative from our customer team, would issue permits for their sub contractors. Collectively at the beginning of the contract we agreed this was a duplicate effort that could be better improved. As a large exhibition hall, the number of permits issued and inductions carried out was huge. To eliminate this duplicate effort, it was decided that CBRE would also issue permits and induction for third party sub contractors also, releasing this take from our customer. Within the CBRE accommodation block, the contract team modified the space and created a bespoke sub-contractor area incorporating visitor reception, welfare facilities and a room to induct up to 20 sub contractors at a time. The sub contractor room is lined with health & safety paraphernalia which really supports our sub-contractors taking on the same ‘no compromise’ approach to health and safety us.
34
Getting the basics right – plant room standards As per 4.3.21of the specification, CBRE will at all times ensure that all plant rooms are kept clean, tidy and in a safe condition at all times. To meet with this requirement, we will instigate our plant room ownership programme. From go live, we will initiate a four month programme of emptying, cleaning, degreasing and floor painting all of all plant room areas across the IWM estate. We are firm believers in the philosophy of ‘a place for everything and everything in its place’. Why should back of house be any different to front of house? If a plant room is dirty, untidy and uncared for, this may reflect the attitude of the team and we want an inspired team full of pride across each of the IWM branches!
Plant room ownership programme and checklist We have pioneered the concept of plant room ownership schemes across the majority of our contracts. We have found this works particularly well across contracts where there is no single person accountable for plant rooms as it defined ownership by different engineers on the contract to take ownership of each plant room. They are responsible for keeping it clean, tidy, safe and constantly at ‘show-site’ levels – working off the Lean 5S principles of ‘Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain’. The scheme instils a sense of pride and we see increased longevity of the equipment due to engineers going the ‘extra mile’ to look after the equipment and the environment. The plant room ownership scheme will support the requirement of plant room care as defined in the specification. We show below an example of before and after shots of a recent contract. Before
Our standard for plant rooms include, for example; swept and painted floors, litter bins, removal of seating, graffiti etc. This provides a much better environment for maintenance work to be carried out and introduces pride and ownership as well as keeping plant rooms constantly at show-site’ levels. Across each branch of the estate, plant rooms will be initially cleared of all rubbish and superfluous material at which point they will be assessed for H&S risks. A condition survey will take place on the equipment from which a list of priority mobilisation projects will be created.
After
The next stage in bringing the plant-rooms up to standard will be to sight and update the existing Forward Maintenance Register (FMR) or to create one so that the risk from out of date machinery can be qualified and quantified.

Client:
Contract award: 30/03/2013 Contract duration: 5 years plus 2 Scope: CBRE was appointed by British Airways to provide mechanical, electrical maintenance at Heathrow, (engineering facilities, Terminal 3 and 5), Gatwick, regional sites in Manchester and Newcastle as well as BA’s corporate offices and data centres.
Creating efficiencies and enhancing a contract Observation session: Each week during the Managers Meeting, an ‘Observation session’ is carried out. The Observation session is the result of the CBRE Operations Director completing walk-around and spot check on a chosen area or site across the contract. Photographs are taken to highlight items such as potential hazards or areas that could be tidied up or addressed with general housekeeping best practice. Before and after photos are also circulated to confirm that these items have been addressed.
Critical alarm dashboard: The Critical Alarm dashboard provides the contract with complete visibility of critical equipment. The dashboard supports fire evacuation trending and analysis which allows us to drive down the impact to the BA business through the introduction of double knock system to BA’s facilities.
• Building Maintenance services • HSE Compliance and Security • Building Fabric maintenance • General services (handyman, AV equipment maintenance, minor moves etc) • Specialist engineering (airport support equipment etc) • Minor Projects / Capital Works • Customer support (Helpdesk, Business Continuity Planning etc) • Building and Environmental Management and Energy Management
Hazard reporting: Fault reporting: We have created a process that allows any BA member to login to their intranet and log a fault. This feeds directly to our Concept CAFM System. This quick and easy access allows for faster rectification times and higher customer satisfaction levels across BA stakeholders.
We have improved our hazard reporting process through the use of the Hazard reporting pocket booklet that is carried by engineers at all times.
• FM Signage • Landscaping and grounds maintenance, snow and ice • Security and supporting equipment (support role)
36
Vibration analysis: Early in to the contract, we began a trial at Gatwick conducting condition based monitoring on the hangar doors. The system allows access for CBRE and the BA team through a web portal to view and track door usage. Longterm condition based monitoring will allow us to identify the lifespan of the doors and reduce the need for maintenance. This has been very successful and we are looking to roll out across the rest of the hangars Heathrow.
Handheld technology: In order to streamline processes, CBRE implemented handheld technology across the BA contract. This is turn has reduced administration costs, environmental impact by reducing paper usage, increasing productivity and opportunity to monitor customer satisfaction and feedback across the sites. In addition to managing tasks the handhelds have provided engineers with dynamic risk assessments and health and safety information. Health and safety is always at the forefront of our service delivery, with the site team being unable to undertake any works until a task specific risk assessment has been completed on the handheld. By implementing the handheld devices across the BA contract, it has not only improved communication, but also enhanced the efficiency and financial performance.
Unique incident reporting process: We have created a unique procedure and process for incident reporting. In the case of an incident, the Facilities Incident Report is circulated to Corporate Property and the Event Incident Management Team (EMIT). The Report combines details of the incident itself, and also provides a framework for analysis of the root cause and offers guidance to create proactive and preventative measures. Using this Facilities Incident Report (FIR) we are also able to track incidents and provide trend reporting an analysis to BA Corporate Property.
ePermits: CBRE re-instated the e-permit system across the Waterside site. In doing so e-permits have improved management control, reduced risks and allowed for improved management information and labour efficiencies across the site.
Snow and ice process: We manage the Snow and Ice contract responsibilities at LHR, LGW and regional hubs with our partner, GRIT IT as well as utilising the dedicated in-house grounds team. Together, we have created a comprehensive policy and process to support this process.
Electric vehicles: We have invested in an electric vehicle fleet at BA operation’s sites.

Building a team For future recruitment across the contract we will invest in and create a unique recruitment and vetting charter bespoke to the IWM. It is crucial to select the right FM team for a world class service. To develop openness and real sense of partnership, we propose that key stakeholders of the IWM FM team to be involved in our recruitment process. We suggest that this includes: mutual agreement and sign off of job descriptions; involvement in the interview process for key positions and support of the development of a IWM Assessment Centre and other specific competency based recruitment initiatives in line with the CARE values. The recruitment and vetting process will comply to the security code of practice BS 7858:2006 and any specific IWM Vetting procedures. When recruiting new employees to fill positions across the contract, we are not just looking to ‘fill a vacancy’, but to find candidates that are proud and inspired to work across any of the IWM branches. The key to finding the best people is ensuring we recruit on the core values of IWM and key technical competencies across both hard and soft services. When necessary, we will recruit from a wide range of sources (internal and external) with the intention of recruiting the very best in the market place and from the local community.
38
The IWM Assessment Centre We will work collaboratively with you to create a IWM Assessment Centre for all engineering and managerial roles across the contract. The in-depth assessment centre will test the ability and behaviours of candidates against the IWM values, as well as the expected and required technical skills and competencies. For management and supervisors, the assessment centre will comprise of a series of exercises that include a competence based interview across a key panel (Account Manager, HR Manager and key members of the IWM FM team), a case study based presentation and a psychometric assessment. We will analyse competency and skills using a Skills and Competency Analysis tool. Similar to the manager and supervisory psychometric profile, we have developed a similar profiling tool to assisting in the recruitment of engineering roles. Across the business, CBRE conducts Assessment Centres for management positions and run 2-3 assessment centres per month. The rigour and search for the best candidate to fit with our culture see less than 30% of candidates making the ‘final cut’.
The success of our assessment centre process has shown the retention rate of employees through these Centres is over 95%.
Apprenticeships It is our intention that apprentices on the contract be selected from the local London community, such as the Southwark area and in our search, this opportunity be advertised on the IWM careers web page. CBRE has provided apprenticeships for a number of years working in association with training providers such as JTL and BEST and we currently have approximately 54 apprentices across the business. We know that investing in people is critical for the continued success of any business and recognise that a vibrant apprenticeship programme for those young people with the right attitude, ability and positive approach to work is crucial. Apprentices typically follow a four-year plan which provides a thorough grounding in their chosen profession. The maintenance engineering apprenticeship is our most popular as it reflects our core services, while others include electrical, gas and plumbing. Each apprenticeship consists of a structured programme leading to a recognised qualification as well as supervised on the job training.

Innovation and efficiency at the National Gallery Introduction to the National Gallery The National Gallery is an art museum on Trafalgar Square in London. Founded in 1824, it houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. It is the fifth most visited art museum in the world, after the Musée du Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum and Tate Modern.
CBRE at the National Gallery CBRE first took on the contract at the National Gallery in 2002 and has incorporated many innovative ideas and developed efficiencies which have helped further develop our relationship with the Gallery over the past 12 years. It is important to constantly drive innovation and efficiency to keep the relationship fresh, and in a space as dynamic as the National Gallery, it is key as hard services maintenance provider to provide the right solutions that are the best fit for the Gallery. Our Engineers not only work with the Estates Team on the day-to-day maintenance of the buildings but also work closely with the Gallery Curatorial staff in tailoring solutions to best suit each exhibition and their specific requirements, most recently with in the Veronese exhibition.
We understand maintaining environmental conditions of collections and artefacts is a necessity and our teams work with the Scientific Department in achieving optimum lighting and air temperature levels to ensure minimal damage to paintings over the time they are on display. In driving innovation and efficiencies across the National Gallery we are working with our customer to implement smart technology with the use of iPads, as well as the development of apps and systems such as FSI Go and QR codes. Through strategy days with our customer an ongoing feedback and collaboration, we have worked to develop full asset management plans, energy reduction plans and better ways of working. In conjunction with the Carbon Trust, we worked with our customer to create a Carbon Management Plan. The main contribution of carbon emissions at the National Gallery is from electricity consumption. Working with the Gallery CBRE have consistently achieved year on year reductions in CO2 Emissions (see graph).
Achievements and efficiencies • Tight control of gallery conditions to preserve the paintings, temp. 21-23°C. +/– 1.0°C, Humidity 55% RH, +/– 5% • Carried out software modifications to the Airedale Turbocor Chillers to prioritise the flooded evaporator chillers • Carried out energy efficiency strategy across West Wing AHUs which has resulted in consistent energy savings, on track for £23,000 • Amended primary chilled water pump strategy to reduce the number of stages of cooling required • Carried out a trial of energy efficient filters on the East Entrance AHU • Installation of LED lighting with automatic controls

Environment, energy and sustainability Further to the IWM Annual Report 2014-2015, we know that energy consumption reduction across the estate is a high priority and measured as one of the IWM corporate performance indicators. Using our in-house expert, Jeremy Smith, Energy Manager and on-site ‘energy engineers’, CBRE will be a principal partner and ‘trusted advisor’ to support IWM achieve this goal. Our aim is to provide IWM with an integrated energy and facilities management service across all branches that offers genuine capital and operational cost savings that supports the broader aims of IWM and corporate priorities and strategy. We will continually work to minimise the overall impact of CBRE and IWM activities to the environment and as part of our service and in line with 6.13 of the hard services specification, we will provide:
The first step in our ‘Understand, Manage, Deliver’ energy and environment management methodology will be to conduct an ‘Energy and Environment Health Check’ (audit) across each of the IWM branches. In doing so, we will produce and environmental risk register and Energy and Environment improvement plan. Our supporting teams of energy, environment and technical experts will work to achieve targets through implementing initiatives such as: Energy Audits in line with CIBSE’s TM22:2006, Energy Engineer training, Working Smarter, Sustainable Procurement Practices, Project Team Energy Training, Energy and Environment Road shows, Water reduction plans, knowledge sharing & best practice.
• Support, guidance and advice from an expert Energy Manager • Legislative and industry updates and guidance on latest technology innovations • Cost Savings from energy reduction and meeting targets of the Carbon Reduction Plan • Support maintaining the IWM Environmental Management System • Robust data and systems to support reporting requirements identified in the specification • Clarity on energy, carbon, water and waste costs • Vehicles using ‘green fuels’ • Collaboration with energy experts in our wider business to generate new energy savings ideas • Added value through integration with facilities management, procurement and life cycle replacement.
Energy Engineers We will train selected engineers in energy engineering to allow us to operate with an extended energy knowledge related to day-to-day operations. This a ‘back to basics’ type of energy strategy that encourages best practise and accountability for the correct and most efficient running of equipment. This is achieved by low cost/ no cost good practice, such as improving existing plant’s efficiency, installing new technology, benchmarking each building performance and actively reviewing its operation against expected profiles. Our on-site teams have helped customers significantly reduce their energy costs.
Green PPM Review We will review existing planned preventative maintenance schedules from an energy perspective and make recommendations for improved efficiency during plant replacements such as Hi Flow Air Filters and EC Fans.

Energy and environment The National Gallery The National Gallery houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. In 2013/14 electricity consumption was 3,599, 694 kWh which equates to 1947 tonnes CO2. With tight control of gallery conditions to preserve the paintings (temp. 21-23°C. +/– 1.0°C. Humidity 55% RH,+/– 5%), electricity is mainly used for air conditioning of the gallery spaces.
The on-site CBRE team installed and commissioned a veloprobe to measure the supply airflow to two of the systems. Interpreting the data supplied and using our in-house expertise, the CBRE Controls Engineer re-wrote the controls strategy to allow the supply fan to run at 35 Hz during non occupancy periods when conditions allowed and meet design conditions during occupied periods.
An annual energy review was carried out by Jeremy Smith, Energy Manager, which required the existing energy strategy to be updated and amended.
This strategy review has resulted in significant proven energy saving of £6.1K p.a. and CO2 savings of approx. 45 tonnes p.a.
It was found that West Wing AHUs supply air fans for two systems were identified as running at full speed 50 Hz, 24/7. After review it was agreed that the speed of fans would be reduced during unoccupied times, as long as gallery conditions were maintained. A pitot traverse was carried out to confirm air flow rates and found that the system was delivering above design conditions during occupied hours.
Harper Collins 10% gas savings from previous year through installation of new Gas Burner Technology, implementation of a water reduction strategy which saves £22k annually on drainage and roofing works and insulation project which created a 10% heating cost saving.
Scottish Power £200k savings through water management programme.
Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust We delivered a number of initiatives which generated substantial savings such as £18,000 energy saving by installing new inverter driven water pumps.
Sainsbury’s Through evaluating existing service approach, we created an enhanced forward maintenance plan. Additional scheduled works reduced reactive call volumes in Year 1 by 54.5% and significantly cut carbon emissions.

Cost savings and value for money It is our intention that this document and our tender response to both hard and soft services will demonstrate the value that CBRE can bring to IWM. We know that self-generated income remains a pressure point, we are also aware of the reliance on funding from the Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS). It is this funding that allows IWM to open the doors to each site in a safe, secure, efficient and sustainable manner and one which provides ongoing protection and preservation of collections and archives. Our knowledge, experience and expertise will allow us to deliver maintenance and soft services efficiently across the contract and as part of our offering; we will liaise and advise IWM FM team on the following initiatives that will increase productivity, drive efficiency and generate savings: • Increased self-delivery through up-skilling creates less reliance on sub-contractors • Creating a multi-skilled workforce and building on collaborative relationships with other service partners to the IWM, such as the security contractor • Maximising current and new technology, refining processes and implementing innovative systems • Better management of help desk to increase productivity and response to reactive tasks across all service lines • Working with the IWM FM team to introduce a ‘business focused’ maintenance approach and ‘smart spending’ such as maintenance on run hours, demand analysis etc • Working with the IWM FM team to develop the specification to further align maintenance requirements to building and system/ asset criticality.
Detailed below is a collection of cost saving and value driving initiatives that are available to IWM should they be of interest:
Initiative
Benefit, value and cost saving
CBRE management of specialist suppliers
• Estimated 15-20% saving on the use of sub-contractors
We are proactive in maintaining an active list of suppliers in a range of disciplines. We value the relationships we build with our supply chain partners and we aim to bring the benefits of these relationships and associated cost savings to IWM. We understand the importance of using the suppliers currently contracted with IWM however in future, it is possible to migrate to CBRE approved suppliers on conclusion of these contracts. In doing so, we can generate direct savings for IWM through economies of scale. Please note however, that where possible we have selected specialist sub-contractors that are local to each branch. For example, for structural checks we have engaged with local and small company S.E. Cambridge.
• In addition to commercial benefits, migrating to the CBRE supply chain will bring operational benefits, innovations and a structured risk managed approach
Conservation Collaboration
• Compliance to the National Heritage Act 1983
A ‘conservation engineer’ will play a vital role in working with the Collections and Conservation departments and other stakeholders across IWM to ensure assets, collections, archives and exhibits are protected in line with your policies. This was a key role we created at the British Museum and was found to be most successful in bridging the gap and encouraging collaboration and understanding between curators, conservation teams and the key role estates maintenance plays in supporting protection of museum collections.
CBRE Flex The CBRE Flex methodology is simply an open book schedule of costs that will allow us to work together with the IWM FM team to easily grow/shrink the scope of services.
• Understanding and collaboration in the care and preservation of collections minimises risk to the Museum • Development of collaboration with conservation teams and curators
• Flexibility and agility to grow or shrink scope of services or the IWM estate
The model was created due to our understanding that the needs of our customers, like any business, can change – what is suitable to service IWM requirements from contract commencement may not be at a certain stage within its duration. This is a further example of our collaborative partnering approach to ensure you only pay for what you need.
Energy Saving Initiatives Our Energy Manager, Jeremy Smith and the Energy Engineers we train across the contract will continually work to minimise the overall impact of CBRE and IWM activities to the environment and as part of our service we will provide: • Support, guidance and advice from an expert Energy Manager • Legislative and industry updates and guidance on latest technology innovations • Cost Savings from energy reduction and meeting targets of the Carbon Reduction Plan • Support maintaining the IWM Environmental Management System • Robust data and systems to support reporting requirements identified in the specification • Clarity on energy, carbon, water and waste costs • Vehicles using ‘green fuels’ • Collaboration with energy experts in our wider business to generate new energy savings ideas • Added value through integration with facilities management, procurement and life cycle replacement.
