Bluepoppy on What the Procurement Act Means for FM Fleets

Bluepoppy has been reading the Procurement Act 2023 with facilities management in mind. As the Act takes full effect, its note suggests, public buyers will expect firms bidding for FM work to evidence how their mobile workforce actually performs.

The practical upshot, in Bluepoppy's view, is that connected telematics, digital job scheduling and accurate mileage records may soon be table stakes in tender submissions, while paper timesheets leave firms exposed. A sensible, forward-looking piece for any member whose vans and engineers serve public-sector contracts.
