  • About

  • The public sector property market costs the taxpayer some £20bn each year, making it the second largest item of expenditure for the public sector after staff. Looking ahead, it is clear that public sector estate is often out-of-date, too big and definitely not "green". Moreover, the nature, style and location of many public sector buildings are significant barriers to the substantial structural changes to how public services are managed and delivered. The announcement by the Treasury, in April 2009, that the public sector is looking to save some £5bn from more efficient use of buildings, is testament to the increasing realisation of the significance of the role of that the "office" plays.

  • Kable's property services focus on the relationship that estate managers and policy strategists have with those shaping the nature of public service delivery and with the key suppliers delivering to that market such as FM companies, property management consultancies, technology suppliers, construction companies and consultancies advising the public sector on change management.

  • Kable aims to help this community by:

    - providing market intelligence services: who is buying what, from whom, and when;

    - in conjunction with The Guardian, providing top-level discussions of key issues such as sustainability, relocation, efficiency and financing of change; and

    - providing consultancy services in conjunction with Governetz, who have been focused on the government estate since 2001

    As an introduction to this market, Kable have produced an initial report: Public sector property to 2013.
