Public Sector Property & Estates 2006
30th October 2006, Radisson SAS, Glasgow
'The Scottish public sector property estate valued at over £25 billion.'
Those charged with delivery of efficient, modern public services face huge challenges, not least from the Efficient Government initiative and Building a Better Scotland. The management of public sector assets is typically the second highest cost on the revenue budgets of public sector bodies after employee costs. Thus, effective management of the property portfolio is key in meeting Scotland's efficiency and service delivery targets.
"…the right assets in the right place can make the difference between good and poor service delivery."
Factors affecting the public sector property estate:
- Efficient Government Initiative
- New legislation
- New work practices
- Shared back office/accommodation
- Joint premises / Joint Futures
- Relocation
- New technology
- Changes in service needs
"Proper asset management………is a vital part of being an efficient organisation." Building a Better Scotland
The role to be played by property asset management professional in meeting these challenges cannot be overstated. Likewise, private sector advisors, consultants and service providers are essential elements in the mix of necessary skills needed to bring about the positive changes demanded by Government.
"I believe there is a clear need to pull together existing skills within the public sector and to re-enforce them with expertise from the private sector…." Sir Michael Lyons, December 2004
