Last Autumn, the UK Facilities Management Report published by AMA Research put a figure of £13.5bn on the market in 1999. By asking 70 FM services delivery companies and 40 FM management companies, they deduced that the market will grow to $17bn over the next three years to 2003. They also estimated that the total value of all non-core services in the UK not delivered as part of an integrated FM contract, is over £80bn. This comprises by sector £12bn for support services such as cleaning and catering, £18bn for building operation and maintenance, £6bn for environmental services, £15bn for fleet management and maintenance, £4bn for infrastructure management, £2.5bn for property management. The biggest slice goes to outsourcing of IT and telecoms services, totalling £27m.
