Episode 96: What’s happening to operations & maintenance?

Operations & maintenance (O&M) may not be the most exciting aspect of a new project, but over a long-term contract they can be the most important.


So as more procuring authorities look to drop O&M from their partnership contracts, where does this leave the market - and how exposed are the assets to facing public sector cuts?


The team discuss:

  • Examples of O&M being cut to make savings - 1:50
  • The UK’s experience of ‘inflexible’ long-term O&M regimes - 8:05
  • Pros and cons of O&M ‘lite’ - 15:14
  • The importance of keeping buildings properly maintained - 17:12
