Strategic Asset Management (SAM) has two key strategic remits:
(i) The efficient and effective management and use of the Council’s capital assets – principally its operational and non-operational property portfolios – consistent with the Corporate Plan.
(ii) Effective management and budgetary control of the Council’s 5x capital programme themes (Corporate, TPIP, Transport, Education, and Housing).
Strategic Asset Management delivers an essential corporate support service. It does not provide a frontline customer-facing role. Instead these are being held within service delivery directorates.
Key challenges:
Corporate Asset Management Plan
Accommodation Strategy
Property Management & Valuation
Establish and maintain Database of Council Assets
Property advisory (consultancy) service
Management of the Property Portfolio (including collection of general fund lettings income and service charges)
Capital Programme & Strategy
Corporate monitoring of capital programmes and promoting good practice capital programme management.
SAM’s contribution to Development Directorate Objectives, include:
Ensuring that capital programmes deliver the intended benefits, are undertaken on time and within resources available.
Working in partnership with other council services and external agencies to ensure excellence in service delivery.
