Service Outsourcing RixStewart staff have over 20 years experience in
procurement and outsourcing, both as operators and client representatives.

This provides us with a unique perspective that allows a pragmatic approach to procurement, ensuring service specifications are clear and fully describe service delivery obligations.

We are a strong advocate of performance based contracts, but understand that one model does not suit all. We work with our clients to design models that provide an appropriate allocation of risk and reward without creating an administrative burden.

Asset Maintenance Strategies • How do I know how much you should be spending on maintenance every year?
• How can I justify this within a business case to make sure I get the budget allocation you need?
• How I start planning for my long term asset needs?

These are just some of the questions that face the modern day Property Facilities Manager. RixStewart is able to help you start on the process of developing and maintaining a strategy that will allow you to justify your financial requirements and ultimately demonstrate best value from limited funds.


Business Case Development With staff who have worked in the Commercial Division of the Department of Treasury and Finance and have extensive experience preparing business cases for large projects, we are able to provide real assistance in the development of business cases to support capital and recurrent expenditure needs, including:-
• Financial Modelling and Analysis • Business Case Writing
• Procurement Analysis
• Strategic Advice
• Gateway Style Reviews

Supplier Performance Management Even with the best contracts and KPI’s, getting the best out of your suppliers requires effective management incorporating such traits as behavioural understanding, diplomacy, firmness, contractual understanding, etc.

RixStewart are able to provide managerial support to assist in resolving under-performing suppliers, and also provide training to contract managers using our operational experience

Support to public sector delivery teams The past 10 years has seen a progressive recognition amongst public sector organisations that Facilities Management is not just about fixing things when they break, or making sure the cleaners do their job. It is a critical element to ensuring state and local governments maximise the long-term value they are able to derive from the properties they own or occupy, within an environment of ever growing legislative obligation and financial accountability.

This progression has required Facility Managers to move away from being operationally focussed to being strategic and tactical planners; customer managers; and performance managers. RixStewart is able to provide support to in-house teams including:
• advising on appropriate organisational structures; • developing process; and
• providing training and mentoring to in-house personnel.
