University Building Services

Partnering with us in Estate Management

Mike Phipps

Director of Building Services


• Why have we invited you here today?

• We have been changing and developing

• Our internal market has been creating more demands

• Partnering with our contractors and suppliers is essential to our own success


• We have developed our business to become more focussed on achieving targets

• We have re-branded ourselves within the University

• We want to establish our position with you in our supply chain

• We want to pass on some Health and Safety information that you will need


• 1999 to 2003 Expenditure Programme

• Your piece of the action

• Annual external maintenance spend will be circa £1000k to £3000k, dependant on our own financial constraints

• Annual capital spend will be mainly to support research initiatives

• This will be mainly funded by others


• We will not be building our own student accommodation, this will be achieved by schemes which are off balance sheet to us

• New build will be limited, we have few suitable site left

• We have a stock of older buildings that will be strategically converted eg. Homeopathic Hospital


• Funding of £600M is available to the sector for research

• We hope our share of this will be £30M over the next 2 to 3 years

• Other strategic funding is being sought, this might be worth £3 to £5M to us if we are successful

• Our main thrust for the next 2-3 years will be in Medical Research

Conclusions• Contractors on site represent both own firm and Building

Services• No order numbers and we will not process invoice.• Address: Building Services Department,

– 1-9 Old Park Hill, Bristol, BS2 8BB• Monthly cheques raised - invoices are paid at the end of the

month following the month of raising, i.e. December 98 (and prior) invoices are paid end of January 99.

• All invoices in the system will be paid accordingly.• The sooner the invoice get in the system, the sooner it will be

paid - hence the ORDER NUMBER helps everyone.
