The market
The Facilities Management sector encompasses companies engaged in a wide range of soft and hard service provision in both the private and public sector in the UK and globally. This market is currently experiencing challenging times with Boards facing a number of key strategic questions.
Customers are demanding higher quality and broader service provision also wanting greater visibility on pricing and margins, with an increasing prevalence of 'Contracting for Outcomes' (CFO) in the public sector. This is squeezing already tight margins and adding additional complexity into bidding activities resulting in many Facilities Management companies struggling to understand the true profitability of contracts. Combined with this, many Facilities Management companies are considering whether to self-deliver or subcontract in order to try to improve overall contract profitability. The emergence of brokerage firms into the marketplace to procure global FM services at the lowest price results in further margin pressure and fragmentation of market share.
Workforce efficiency
Workforce efficiency continues to be an issue for many Facilities Management companies due to inflexibility, lack of good quality logistical information and the tools and skills to manage a more efficient workforce.
Future growth
Many Facilities Management companies are looking overseas for future growth, trying to navigate the challenges of achieving scale in fragmented local markets or penetrating sophisticated Facilities Management markets such as Western Europe. The market continues to be driven towards consolidation with the larger players looking to identify opportunities to build higher margin service capacity, fill in geographical or service capability gaps through international expansion and exiting non-core/low margin offerings.
