The Portfolio

Management of the Estate

The Thames Valley built estate extends to approx.140,000 sqm across 94 sites with nearly 180 individual buildings. The range of building types and ages within the portfolio is varied although the bulk of the current estate was constructed between the early 1960s and the mid 1990s. The estate incorporates traditional office space, storage/warehouse accommodation, training (classroom) facilities, residential accommodation, data centres, laboratory space, and specialist operational policing facilities such as secure custody centres and firearms training ranges. The majority of the estate, by floor area, is owned by TVP. The portfolio is changing, with an expanded disposal programme continuing with some more modern replacement facilities in hand and planned, and some significant building maintenance projects underway and planned.

Thames Valley Police has an in-house property function that is responsible for all aspects of the management of the estate including maintenance, asset management, project development and delivery, and facilities services (hard and soft fm). The staff within the Property Services Department (PSD) include experienced professionals from a number of key disciplines such as Building Surveying, Construction Project Management, Facilities Management, Building Services Engineering, Town Planning, Quantity Surveying and General Practice Surveying. The PSD structure comprises the following: • Estate Strategy & Asset Management • Capital & Major Projects • Maintenance • Facilities • Environment & Sustainability
