Procurement
Nickleby helps clients procure maintenance supply chains, either in whole in or parts.
Knowing when you're getting value for money in facilities management is never easy. Nickleby uses the management data in Emergense, gathered across numerous clients, types of work, contractors and equipment, to help clients decide on what they want to pay and what they want in return.
This benchmarking service helps ensure that you pay the right amount for the right level of service. Our structured approach to deals goes well beyond limited commercial tendering and reassures you that the contracts you have in place are appropriate.
Nickleby specialises in detailed analysis to get the right balance of the different factors: budget, price, cost, value. This makes sure that your properties are neither over-maintained nor under-maintained.
For example, Nickleby have saved one client £1m p.a. simply by analysing how frequently a specific piece of equipment failed and comparing this with the maintenance schedule in place. We found no correlation - and as it rarely broke down (irrespective of maintenance), we reduced the service regime, while increasing the contractor's rate. The net result was a huge saving for the client, reduced but more profitable work for the contractor, and no change to the equipment's uptime.
