FM costs were reduced in 2003/04 to exclude telephone services, which were
transferred to the Corporate Contact Centre on 1 st September 2004, and were then
comparable on a like for like basis with 2004/05 and 2005/06.
The Civic Centre was re-measured in December 2004 and 2004/05 measurement now
includes enlarged accommodation for Children’s Services in the Mezzanine offices
and also some areas not been previously included.
A Best Value Review of Facilities Management Services was reported to Cabinet on
28 th April 2005. In a benchmarking exercise involving two other London Boroughs,
Hillingdon had the lowest Civic Centre FM cost per employee and the second lowest
cost per square metre.
LBH originally set a target of 2017 staff to be in the building for 2006/07. However,
despite successfully relocating 100 staff from 2 sites towards this target, there was in
fact a net reduction of 10 staff in the Civic Centre between November 2005 and
November 2006 due to the budget position of the Council which required significant
revenue reductions and a managed vacancy factor.
