Case Study
Baachu was enlisted to provide comprehensive lifecycle cost reports for several prisons under one of
Serco's Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contracts. The task was executed against stringent contractual
requirements, with strict timelines and significant penalties set for failure to meet the deliverables.
Our Strategic Approach:
Our team conducted on-site visits to multiple prisons across the UK,
undertaking a thorough asset condition exercise. This involved assessing the age and condition of
major assets within the scope of the lifecycle requirements. Following the on-site surveys, we
performed a desktop exercise to cost the lifecycle elements for each asset type, whether
replacement or refurbishment. The broader asset management exercise also considered whole life
cost options for procuring assets designed for better control, lower energy consumption,
environmentally friendly disposal, and more efficient maintenance regimes. This approach provided
alternative capital cost assets and enhanced whole life cost, compliant asset replacement strategies,
along with improved energy consumption across each site.
The Successful Outcome:
The initial output reports underwent rigorous scrutiny by the Special
Purpose Vehicle (SPV), challenging the logic supporting the data and assumptions of replacement
frequencies. Two years into the contract, Baachu is conducting additional lifecycle surveys to update
the contractual whole life cost model. With each update, the refined asset data and insights into
maintenance issues contribute to an improved and well-informed lifecycle model. This, in turn,
facilitates enhanced procurement decisions and more detailed considerations for overall energy
management.
