Revision as of 19:34, 23 September 2009

The distribution of the United Kingdom government's real estate among the government departmental groups.[1]

The public real estate in the United Kingom consists of all government-owned real estate property. In 2007, the Office of Government Commerce estimated that the government's office portfolio was worth £30 billion, and cost £6 billion annually to run.[2]

In the mid 1990's, government real estate management functions were passed from the Property Services Agency to individual departments.[3] The National Audit Office stated in 2006 that the motive behind this change was that it brought greater clarity and accountability, although it also diminished economies of scale and synergies between departments.[3] The Property Services Agency was succeeded by Property Holdings, which in 1996, was succeeded by the Property Advisors to the Civil Estate.[4]

The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) has no authority to direct departments.[5]

Central government bodies adhere to the Civil Estate Co-ordination Protocol (CECP).[6]

Government departments are accountable for managing and using their own property portfolio.[7]
