Building maintenance service

Following a comprehensive re-tendering exercise new contracts have been awarded for KCC's building maintenance service. The new arrangements came into effect on 1 April 2006.

As a result of this exercise, three geographical areas in the county have each been allocated their own dedicated consultant:

  • Zone 1: Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Dartford, Gravesham, Tonbridge and Malling - Faber Maunsell
  • Zone 2: Shepway, Ashford and Maidstone - Mouchel Parkman
  • Zone 3: Swale, Canterbury, Thanet and Dover - NPS Property Consultants

Property Group took this opportunity to redesign the structure and management of the contract in order to add value from greater performance management. Key performance indicators have been built in and performance in each area will be continually monitored to ensure high quality.

Each consultant provides a dedicated point of contact within their zone enabling more localised service delivery and a better understanding of client issues.

All building maintenance problems or queries should continue to be reported to the Property Service Desk on 0845 3000346. This telephone number will not change and should also be used for all out-of-hours emergencies.

Kent Property Group also provides information about building maintenance service packages which are available. Please note that to reduce the file size the appendices referred to have been omitted. If you would like to view any of these appendices or require further advice about the work packages please contact the Contract Manager for your zone:
