Innovative Procurement We are currently developing specifications and tender documentation for an innovative Strategic Delivery Partner solution for the delivery and operation of our estate. This procurement exercise should result in a contract with a Tier 1 supplier to deliver our Estates Strategy projects and, potentially, operate and maintain those assets embedding true soft landings, carbon reduction, life cycle costings, logistical and health and safety coordination and a circa 10% saving on capital costs compared with traditional forms of construction procurement. • Find out more about the London Metropolitan University Estate Strategy.
The Digital Campus A smart estate is at the very core of the University’s Estates Strategy and Digital Strategy. We will create a smart estate in collaboration with our newly engaged integrated infrastructure partners, to connect our students and staff to our buildings and services, ensuring our Estates Strategy objectives are fully integrated. Progress to date includes installation of smart building technology such as environmental and people counting sensors in all teaching spaces and offices, seamlessly integrated with a new CAFM system. Ultimately this will give us precise control and automation of our campuses, simplify business processes and provide in-depth analytics to improve both efficiency and end user experience. Putting sustainability front and centre – our Carbon and Environmental Management Plan Environmental sustainability is at the heart of everything that we do. We have an excellent track record and continue to be leaders in this area. Our new Carbon and Environmental Management Plan both meets and exceeds the requirements of the London Plan for reducing carbon emissions. We will achieve Carbon Net Zero by 2030, and our emissions will rapidly decelerate beyond 2028 as we replace our current gas burning district heating system with new renewable energy nodes. Our CEMP enables our graduates to continue this vital work, and improves the internal environment in which we teach, learn and work.
