Public sector asset rationalisation and investment:

Making Total Capital work

Context: Local Government funding

• Government CSR proposals:– Revenue funding cut by 26%– Capital funding cut by 45%

• Implications:– Review of working practices– Use space more efficiently– Reduce rent paid and increase capital receipts– But weak occupier and investment property market particularly for

secondary/tertiary property in areas with highest public sector employment

Context: Housing

• Government proposals– Up to 150,000 new affordable homes up to 2014-15– Reform of housing finance so local authorities will have more

control over their own finances and keep sale receipts– Localism and New Homes Bonus to increase house building

• Implications:– Housing budget more than halved, and housing market remains

weak– Two thirds of social housing tenants receive welfare payments, so

welfare cuts will hit hard– New tenancy rents at 80% of market levels will improve

development viability– Will New Homes Bonus (six years council tax) be enough to

encourage more planning approvals and more house building?

Context: Development Market…

• Stalled schemes

• Stagnant Market

• Reduced market capacity– Reduction in number of

developers– Reduction in size of

developers

• Banking debt finance hard to source

• No one willing to take risk on up front costs and infrastructure

• Been reliant on re-phased schemes– Affordable homes– Government backed

…but these will dry up soon

• Traditional model of cross-subsidisation has failed – Profitable elements squeezed– Little or no grant– Financial viability has fallen– Developer return fallen/planning

gain lower– Debt availability fallen

The challenge facing London authorities

• Number of organisations involved – governance and decision making

• Multiple funding streams and ability to align investment

• Effective structures for joint investment and sharing of benefits

• Future delivery structures and service demands

• Competing priorities and targets between public sector bodies

• Information – only one in five finance directors believe they have the information they need to manage their estate properly

• Conflict between the desire to retain freehold ownership with the need and efficiency of a flexible estate

The opportunity for London authorities

• Act as lead for the public estate in the locality:– Local authority taking the lead landlord role– Local authority taking the lead role in developing out surplus estate

• Use the opportunities from surplus estate to support regeneration

• Engage with the Private Sector to assist – use assets as incentives

The private sector is interested…

Making Total Capital work

• How can local authorities lead the way in taking a public sectorwide approach to strategic asset planning?

• Once surplus assets are identified, what can the public sector do with this part of their estate in the current market?

• What are the best structures for maximising value for money in the management of the combined operational estate?

Housing & LDA land

London Housing and Property CompanyRevisions and key principles

• Create a framework structure that the LDA/GLA and others can leverage off during a 4 year period.

• The framework will appoint a PSP that will have exclusivity overparticipating sites during the 4 years.

• PSP to have own integrated supply chain.• The PSP will work up the sites and secure funding for the

development of the sites.• Intervention by public sector in scheme development minimised, but

must meet core objectives.• Financial innovation possible at SPV level.• Land retained by LDA/GLA and transferred into the SPV when

appropriate.• Composition and structure of SPV to be defined through the

procurement process with the PSP.• Overage model proposed and investment return to LDA/GLA to be

subordinated.

Getting the most from capital and assets

Brian ReynoldsCLG/LGID [email protected]

A number of councils and partners have looked at opportunities for more efficient capital investment and management of assets across the public estate.

• Last year one of the Total Place Pilots looked at capital investment whilst others looked at local asset management.

• Initial figures showed that £30bn pa of central government funds are spent on buildings and that there is at least £370bn worth of public sector assets around the country, 1/3 of them being nationally owned (1/3 locally owned, 1/3 housing)

• Existing assets and new capital investment are generally treated separately

• Capital investment is top-down, siloed and fragmented

• Assets are similarly treated in silos of ownership making a local area-wide approach difficult

• This work identified scope for increasing productivity through a new commissioningapproach which we propose to develop through real-time learning with eleven pathfinder areas.

There is some uncertainty about the real value of the public estate. The book value of the entire public estate (the Blue Book) is based on inflationary increases in property prices over the past ten years. New capital investment between 2003 and 2010 has added to the public estate and the real value could be £500bn

… with an additional £30bn invested each year in new build and maintenance

• Four Whitehall ‘spending’ departments accounted for over half (51%) of central governments capital budgets in 2009/10

• This includes spending on the built environment: homes, schools, hospitals, roads etc – the key local services needed in a local area

The existing asset stock is owned by local authorities and many different local agencies of central government

There were over 15 number of new buildings constructed in Leeds over the last 5 years. These were constructed for different agencies, planned in isolation and largely on the basis of a national view of what was needed.

Map of publicly funded new buildings in Leeds over the past 5 years

More information and transactional services are

being delivered via avirtual space: eg online

services through websites reducing the need for

office space

More health and adult care services are being delivered in the home or your space: egTelecare reducing usage of the public

estate

There is a separation of service delivery arrangements from asset management and capital investment which inhibits opportunities to make services more productive and responsive to the needs of local people

Public buildings provide the physical space to typically access a single service this

makes it difficult for local people to access the range of

advice they need e.g. someone who has lost

employment may need to visit 4 different buildings

Employment advice and benefits

Occupational therapy

RetrainingHousing benefits

Some areas are rationalising physical

space into one-stop shops which can make it easier for

people to access all the services they need facilitating a multi-agency response and development of multi-agency

teams

Marsh Lane police station in Seftonhouses all services for victims of domestic violence – 5 in one building and 4 services have now merged

Services are largely provided from single-service based locations but joining-up services can reduce demand

on buildings and improve services

Innovations in service delivery such as IT and personalisation can drive down the demand for

building space

In conclusion

Lost productivity in capital investment

Lost productivity in utilising assets

Lost productivity in service delivery

The arrangements for capital investment do not take account of the existing asset base across the local public estate. New buildings to house services do not take account of where existing services are being provided which can create costly mistakes that need to be corrected later. Decisions on rationalisation of assets are limited by organisational boundaries – the scale of savings could increase if the entire public estate was considered together in an area.

Services could become much more efficient for example, through co-location so that they can share back-office functions and estate management costs. This also facilitates the creation of multi-agency teams which reduce duplication between front-line services as well as providing single points of contact, one-stop shops and greater personalisation for individuals.

Opportunities for private sector investment and joint procurement to strengthen the bargaining position of local service providers are being lost. Lack of local flexibility to prioritise capital investment and different rules for different capital streams make joint ventures difficult to initiate and co-ordinate creating uncertainty, delays and fragmentation of procurement and delivery arrangements.

Productivity can significantly increase through shifting from a fragmented top down approach to a localist and integrated approach

Decide on eachinvestment

Current model

Proposed new model

Plan each local development

Procure each local development

Decisions start with individual top-down supply streams.Existing assets and capital for new assets are considered separately

Decide locally on allinvestment

Plan all local development

Procure all local development

Siloed decisions lead to siloed funding and plans for supply driven solutions on site by site basis

These sites are then procured individually and separately

Decisions start with demand across the whole local area.Existing assets and capital are thought of together as “stock and new investment”

Individual developments come forward small and large as part of the overall solution for public sector buildings required

Sites are procured as a local and national collaboration shaping markets and getting efficiencies

Progress with the Pathfinders

1ST draft Business Cases have been received from Swindon, Worcestershire, Hampshire, Cambridgeshire, Wigan and Solihull

- 8 service reconfigurations

- 2 Housing developments

- 3 Town centre regeneration schemes

Business Case Options:

- what can be done now

- what could be done if central government removed barriers to local collaboration

Deadline for final submissions: 8 December

Values Table from Pathfinders’ Business Case

A Baseline

B Option 1 Currently possible project

C Option 2 If barriers removed

A. Total operational footprint (sqm) B. Current/predicted operating costs (define)

C. Operating costs per sqm D. Operating costs per employee E. Capital receipts from disposal (years 1-5) F. Implementation costs (capital) (years 1-5) G. 25 year NPV (costs minus benefits over 25 years discounted at 3.5%)

H. 10 year NPV I. 5 year NPV

Emerging Barriers

Of over two dozen barriers so far identified, few seem insurmountable by local agencies

Many OGD capital receipts accrue to HMT

The uncertain future of PCTs post 2013

LIFT procurement route is mutually exclusive (eg cannot be combined with an education LEP)

Treatment of VAT and SDLT

Is this it?
