Building Performance Module
COPROP Benchmarking - Administrative Buildings and Elderly Persons Homes
We are pleased to enclose information regarding the latest phase of COPROP Benchmarking scheme on building performance.
As you will know building performance is a key aspect of asset management planning and is forming an increasing important part of the CPA process. As a result of this the benchmarking of building performance has taken on a new dimension. The scheme is recognised by CLG and the Audit Commission as having the necessary elements to promote greater efficiency and effectiveness in the use of property assets. As in previous years it is linked with the NBVBS scheme to provide a single benchmarking scheme which is backed by the expertise of CIPFA.
Colleagues, I am very pleased to recommend the new release of the COPROP scheme for property performance benchmarking. Working in partnership with NBVBS and IPF, performance management specialists within COPROP have revised and updated all four modules, which now incorporate online data submission and reporting.
Good performance measurement is an essential underpinning for so much of what we do. Many COPROP members have commented on the benefits of using this well-established range of surveys, both in their asset management activities and in evidencing good practice for CPA. With reports structured to allow comparisons between authorities, and between properties within your own authority, this provides an excellent tool for benchmarking property performance.
You will be aware that COPROP has taken a lead in the National Property Performance Management Initiative (NaPPMI) to improve the quality of benchmarking for these services. This is one of the first large-scale pieces of work to take advantage of the work of that group.
I know that some authorities have not previously subscribed because they have been unconvinced of the effectiveness of such activities. We have addressed such concerns in two ways:
- improvements in defining and comparing performance as a result of the NaPPMI work, and
- a streamlined process for inputting and reporting data
I would be delighted to see an increased take-up of this scheme amongst our members, and strongly recommend you to subscribe.
Richard Hanson: President, COPROP
