Summary

Local education authorities currently spend about £114 million per year on maintenance of engineering services in their education establishments. Maintenance is clearly expensive, so it is important for LEAs to ensure that their maintenance programmes are cost-effective. In order to ensure that limited financial resources are used effectively, it is important to achieve an appropriate balance between planned and reactive work. There is also a need to develop policies which would make planned maintenance work more efficient. This bulletin outlines a strategy which can help in this process, and also tackles the issue of whether to repair or replace equipment. To assist with making such decisions, a repair/replace decision tree is provided.
