Contact Us1. Managing Excellence as a Service
What does "Managing Excellence" actually mean?
It means not settling for average. We partner with you to drive measurable improvements across service delivery, operations, and stakeholder satisfaction. Our goal? To embed excellence as a default setting.
Do we need this if our services are already ‘okay’?
Okay is the enemy of great. Even decent service delivery can hide inefficiencies, gaps, or opportunities for optimisation. We’ll help you uncover the hidden potential in your current model.
2. Let’s Talk Contracts
Why should we review our contract before signing?
Because assumptions are expensive. A pre-procurement contract review ensures your scope, standards, and commercial terms are watertight, clear, and aligned with your goals.
What makes an Albius Review different?
Legal teams look for compliance and legality. We look for operational feasibility, delivery pitfalls, commercial red flags, and a range of other risks to objectives. Think of us as the practical voice in your corner.
Is this service just for new contracts?
Not at all. We also support mid-contract reviews, contract realignments, as well as re-tendering processes where a fresh pair of eyes can make a world of difference.
3. Service Mobilisation &Transition
What’s the biggest risk in switching service providers?
There are a few! We help you avoid them by designing and managing a structured approach during the tender and contract design and oversight plans that keep everything running smoothly.
What does transformation involve?
It’s the evolution part. After the handover, it’s the focus on transforming to the end state Target Operating Model, embedding efficiencies, innovations, and improvements that deliver long-term value.
Can you help manage the exit of our incumbent provider too?
Absolutely. We help mitigate the risk during a key period of potential disruption – ensuring all parties play nicely!
4. Organisation Reviews
Why would we need an external organisation review?
Because even high-performing teams can get stuck. We offer objective insight into what’s working, what’s not, and how to better align your structure and strategy.
What areas do you review?
We focus on estates, facilities, and supporting functions, looking at everything from structure and culture to comms, costs, and performance.
Will this just lead to a report we put in a drawer?
Nope. We pride ourselves on delivering actionable, real-world recommendations you can actually implement. We even help you put them into motion if needed.
5. Procurement Support & Risk Mitigation
Can you help us design our procurement process?
Yes! From strategy to selection, we help guide your procurement approach, support you in managing the process, and help you avoid the classic pitfalls that trip up even the best teams.
What about contract negotiation?
We’re in. We help with negotiations, clarifying expectations, and ironing out the fine print so everyone leaves the table clear and confident.
6. Performance Assurance Review
Is this the same as a service audit?
Not quite. It’s deeper. We go beyond compliance to evaluate actual performance, strategic alignment, service delivery, and commercial outcomes.
Who needs this kind of review?
Anyone running a complex or high-value contract who wants to know: is this really working? Are we getting what we paid for? Could it be even better?
What happens after the review?
You get a clear set of insights and practical recommendations. You can implement them yourself, or we can stay on and help make them happen.
7. Contract Risk Review
What risks are we talking about?
Beyond legal stuff like payment terms or IP, we look at operational, commercial, and delivery risks that can derail performance or drive up costs.
Isn’t that what our legal team is for?
Legal covers the basics. We dig into the real-world side of contracts—what might trip you up during delivery. It’s a complementary service, not a replacement.
When should we do a risk review?
We review live contracts or provide insight ahead of re-tendering or renegotiation.
8. Change Management
What makes change so risky in FM contracts?
Because there are so many moving parts—A badly managed transition can lead to downtime, compliance failures, or reputational knocks.
How do you keep change on track?
With planning, experience, and clear leadership. We bring structured approaches and detailed plans, so nothing gets left behind.
Can you work alongside our internal team?
Absolutely. We can lead the charge or provide specialist guidance and tools so your own team can deliver confidently.
9. Generic FM Consulting
Do you only work with public sector clients?
Not at all. We support all Sectors where we feel like we can add value and experience!
