Managing multiple suppliers for cleaning, drainage, pest control, and waste is costing you more than you think. Bundled facilities management contracts consolidate services under one provider, delivering significant savings and dramatically better outcomes.

Most commercial property managers juggle between 4 and 12 separate maintenance suppliers. Each one has its own contract, invoicing cycle, account manager, and way of working. The administrative burden alone is enormous — procurement, onboarding, performance monitoring, invoice processing, and dispute resolution multiplied across every supplier. A recent BIFM study found that managing multiple FM suppliers adds 15 to 20 percent in hidden administrative costs that never appear on any invoice but drain resources relentlessly.
When you consolidate cleaning, drainage, pest control, waste management, window cleaning, and building maintenance under a single provider, savings come from multiple sources. Mobilisation costs are shared across services rather than duplicated. Teams already on site for one task can identify and address issues across other disciplines. Bulk purchasing power reduces material costs. And the elimination of administrative duplication frees up your team to focus on strategic priorities rather than supplier management. Our clients consistently report total savings of 18 to 25 percent compared to their previous multi-supplier arrangements.
The benefits of bundled FM contracts extend far beyond cost savings. When one provider manages all your building services, they develop deep knowledge of your property, your priorities, and your standards. A cleaning team that spots a drainage issue can flag it immediately to the drainage team within the same organisation. A pest control technician who notices a broken seal can arrange a repair before it becomes an entry point. This joined-up approach catches problems earlier, resolves them faster, and delivers a consistently higher standard of building maintenance.
Transitioning to a bundled FM contract does not have to be disruptive. At The Core Group, we manage the entire process. We start with a comprehensive site audit and review of your current supplier arrangements. We then build a tailored service package that covers every discipline, with clear SLAs and transparent pricing. Our transition team handles supplier notifications, staff introductions, and the handover of all operational information. Most clients are fully transitioned within 4 to 6 weeks with zero disruption to building operations.
