PPP / PFI Handback Verification
Thousands of UK PFI contracts are nearing expiry — and many public authorities are uncovering performance and compliance issues too late.
Building Performance Solutions provides the independent, data-driven verification needed to manage that transition with confidence.
Evidence-Based Asset Handover
From Assumptions to Engineering Evidence
Using IES Live and iSCAN, BPS creates a live digital twin of each asset — verifying that comfort, energy and environmental performance meet contractual handback obligations.
Unlike snapshot surveys, our approach delivers continuous verification, connecting to existing meters, BMS systems and sensors. iSCAN captures real-time operational data, which is modelled within IES Live to show how the building is actually performing.
This provides a transparent, shared source of truth for all parties — grounded in real data, not assumption — and reduces the risk of disputes during contract closeout.
Key Benefits:
-
Independent verification of building performance
-
Continuous monitoring instead of single-point surveys
-
Transparent evidence for both public and private stakeholders
Closing the Performance Gap
Quantifying Drift. Proving Compliance.
Most PFI assets deviate from their design intent long before contract expiry. Our specialists use IES Live analytics to quantify that drift, identify its root causes, and map the most cost-effective path back to compliance.
Whether the focus is meeting energy targets, maintaining comfort standards, or evidencing lifecycle maintenance, BPS delivers a verified pathway to achieve it — well before the handback deadline.
Key Benefits:
-
Identify and address performance drift
-
Evidence compliance with comfort and energy standards
-
De-risk handback negotiations and avoid penalties
Managed Verification
& Reporting
A Shared, Auditable View for All Parties
Through a managed verification service, BPS tracks operational KPIs from assessment to contract closeout.
Performance dashboards built on IES Live and iSCAN give SPVs, FM operators and public clients a shared, auditable view of energy, carbon, comfort and cost metrics.
This ensures obligations are met and documented, creating a data record that supports both contractual compliance and future asset management.
Key Benefits:
-
Transparent reporting for all stakeholders
-
Live tracking of key performance metrics
-
Continuous evidence for contractual compliance
Future-Ready
Foundations
Beyond Handback: Building a Smarter, Lower-Carbon Estate
Every BPS handback project leaves behind a calibrated digital asset — a high-fidelity digital twin that forms the foundation for future performance management.
The same IES Live and iSCAN framework can be extended into net-zero roadmaps, retrofit planning, and ongoing optimisation, enabling estates to move seamlessly from handback verification to decarbonisation and continuous improvement.
Key Benefits:
-
A permanent, verified digital record of asset performance
-
Supports ongoing optimisation and net-zero strategies
-
Builds future resilience and transparency across portfolios
