Providing professional expertise to undertake an independent ‘health check’ on adherence to PFI contractual obligations
Facilities management service providers (FMCo) and Special Purchase Vehicles (SPVs) involved in PFI contracts across all sectors, are coming under increasing pressure to fully evidence compliance to their contractual obligations. The risks of failing to do this can lead to large performance deductions, lengthy negotiation and costly formal dispute resolution.
Thomson FM can provide the expert, independent and technical consultancy support to undertake a Contractual Compliance Review on behalf of the FMCo, SPV or Trust/Authority
The key benefits of a thorough and professional review will be to either give you complete confidence of contractual compliance or to clearly identify any shortfalls, so that these can be prioritised and rectified. Our review will summarise the key contractual obligations and include a full and independent audit to determine the extent to which each requirement is being achieved. If the findings are that some obligations are not being met, we will identify and RAG-rate the required remedial actions, suggest the most appropriate task owners, and propose a programme for resolution.
