Should I use input or output based specifications
to get the best value when procuring FM services?
In simple terms, an output based specification documents the ‘outputs’ required by the end user of an FM service whereas an input based specification will document how the output is to be achieved. In our experience, a hybrid of both types of specification should be considered whereby critical aspects of FM service delivery, which significantly impact on a customer’s core business, are documented on an input basis with the less critical elements of FM service documented as an output. Typically, output based specifications tend towards greater flexibility for innovation in service management and delivery but should always be accompanied by a clear set of objective key performance measures.
