Public Sector Real Estate
Our Experience
We have a comprehensive knowledge of the current issues and challenges facing all public sector organisations.
The downturn in the economy and the Comprehensive Spending Review has put further pressure on all public sector organisations to maintain service levels with less resource and expenditure, provide better value for money, and identify creative and sustainable opportunities to reduce and share their real estate cost base.
We help our clients to respond to these challenges through a number of service areas and solutions including the following:
- Cost reduction: developing cost reduction proposals and implementation plans.
- Value Release: identifying opportunities to rationalise client estates and raise capital either through individual disposals or creation of strategic partnering structures.
- PFI Contract management: managing the real estate cost base through renegotiation of PFI contracts.
- Development: maximising the value of surplus land and buildings.
- Relocation: developing and implementing real estate opportunities for relocation, co-location and shared service delivery.
- Workplace: ensuring the retained estate is fit for purpose, efficient and supports new ways of working.
Why Drivers Jonas Deloitte?
We adopt a collaborative approach in developing innovative and sustainable real estate solutions in response to sector and specific organisation challenges and requirements. We are also able to seamlessly combine real estate advisory services with associated tax, audit, accounting and strategic and process consultancy services.
