Facilities Management Planning

Subcontractor Procurement and Management

In the FM industry, subcontractors play a pivotal role in delivering specialised services. We provide comprehensive support in sourcing reliable and vetted subcontractors across various fields such as cleaning, mechanical and electrical (M&E), landscaping, and security. Our team at Queens Gambit Consulting excels in drafting and negotiating subcontractor agreements that align seamlessly with head contracts. Additionally, we implement robust performance frameworks and SLA compliance checks to ensure that subcontractors deliver on their promises and meet your service standards.

 Contract Drafting, Review and Risk Mitigation

The importance of solid contracts in facilities management cannot be overstated. Our team is adept at drafting and reviewing client contracts and subcontracts, focusing on commercial risk, liability, and compliance. We ensure that all contracts include realistic KPIs, achievable deliverables, and clear escalation procedures. Moreover, we amend legacy contracts to reflect current legal and commercial best practices, protecting your interests while ensuring compliance with industry standards.

 Operational Procurement Strategy

Queens Gambit Consulting is committed to helping FM businesses reduce costs and improve profit margins. We conduct thorough reviews of current supplier arrangements, recommending more cost-effective alternatives tailored to your needs. Our team streamlines procurement processes for materials, consumables, and technology platforms, making your operations more efficient. We also assist in negotiating better terms with key suppliers, ensuring you receive the best value for your investments.

 Compliance and ESG Integration

As regulatory and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards become increasingly critical, our consultancy helps FM companies embed compliance checkpoints into procurement and contract workflows. We help you build ESG criteria into subcontractor and supplier agreements, supporting your sustainability reporting and responsible procurement policies. Our goal is to ensure that your business not only meets regulatory expectations but also stands out as a leader in responsible practices.
