Estates Professional Services for DCLG

The Government Property Unit (GPU), as part of its shared service agenda, has mandated that from January 2015 Government departments must join together in clusters in order to deliver shared property asset management services. This Contract is to provide Estates Professional Services to DCLG, DfE and their cluster partners. The DCLG and DfE cluster partners are currently DCMS, HM Treasury and Department for Energy and Climate Control (DECC). The DCLG / DfE properties are listed at Appendix 2. Appendix 3 lists the cluster partner properties. A comprehensive list of all public sector organisations and their arm's length bodies can be found in the Public Sector Classification Guide published by the Office for National Statistics at: http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/publications/re-reference-tables.html?edition=tcm%3A77- 362491 There is a likelihood that members of the "Cluster Group" will change and other government departments (OGD's) may also join this group.
