Independent facilities management benchmarking and best-practice consultancy Sitemark has been appointed to Lot 9, Facilities Management Consultancy, on Fusion21’s Construction Consultancy Services Framework, worth £175 million, marking a significant milestone in its efforts to enhance efficiency, compliance, and sustainability across the UK public sector.
The national framework offers public and social sector organisations easy access to 120 pre-qualified consultancy suppliers across 15 specialist lots. It provides expert support in areas such as architecture, engineering, surveying, facilities management, and project management through a compliant and cost-effective route to market.
Sitemark’s appointment under Lot 9 (Facilities Management Consultancy) recognises its thought leadership and independent, evidence-based approach to enhancing performance across all FM disciplines.
Driving better outcomes across the Built Environment
Fusion21’s Construction Consultancy Services Framework assists local authorities, NHS trusts, schools, housing associations, and education providers in delivering capital programmes, refurbishment projects, and compliance-driven initiatives.
On the Facilities Management Consultancy lot, Sitemark has the opportunity to deliver benchmarking, operational analysis, supplier performance evaluation, procurement & contract management and customised improvement strategies across soft and hard FM services, including cleaning, waste management, catering, maintenance, and security.
Through its proven benchmarking method, Sitemark helps clients assess both efficiency (e.g., costs, labour, and energy) and effectiveness (e.g., quality, compliance, and user satisfaction), ensuring they are not only doing things right but also doing the right things.
Recognition of independent expertise in facilities management
The appointment marks the first time Sitemark has been awarded a place on a Fusion21 framework, a success that highlights the company’s reputation as an independent leader in FM consultancy. Out of 120 suppliers chosen across all lots, nine organisations were appointed to Lot 9.
Jiger Shah, Associate Procurement Manager at Sitemark, said: “We’re proud to have been appointed to Fusion21’s Construction Consultancy Services Framework. It’s a clear commendation of our expertise, independence, and proven ability to help organisations improve their facilities management performance. At a time when public sector organisations are under increasing pressure to deliver more with less, our evidence-based approach enables them to identify savings, improve service quality, and embed sustainability without compromising on compliance or user satisfaction.”
Benefits for public sector clients
Through its appointment to Fusion21’s Construction Consultancy Services Framework, Sitemark has the opportunity to provide a wide range of benefits to Fusion21 members, including:
• A compliant and efficient procurement route to access FM consultancy services via direct award or further competition, saving time and reducing administrative effort.
• Evidence-based decision-making – employing benchmarking data and performance analysis to identify inefficiencies and quantify opportunities for improvement.
• Measurable cost savings – assisting organisations in optimising contracts and cutting unnecessary expenditure across estates and service delivery.
• Enhanced compliance and quality – offering objective insights that ensure FM operations meet or surpass regulatory standards.
• Support for sustainability and social value – integrating environmentally responsible practices and social value you can see into FM strategies and operations.
Strengthening Sitemark’s strategic growth
For Sitemark, the appointment signifies not only a new route to market but also a strategic move in broadening its reach within the public and social sectors. The framework’s nationwide scope allows Sitemark to support a wide range of Fusion21 members, from local authorities and housing associations to NHS trusts and educational institutions.
“Our inclusion on this framework aligns seamlessly with our broader strategy of growth, sustainability, and innovation,” added Jiger. “We look forward to supporting more public sector organisations in achieving tangible improvements in efficiency, compliance, and environmental performance through our independent consultancy approach.”
A framework for the future of facilities management
As the built environment continues to develop, Fusion21’s Construction Consultancy Framework will support public sector organisations in meeting increasing expectations to achieve sustainability, cost-efficiency, and service excellence.
