Details

This guidance is intended to achieve clarity and consistency of practice in departmental Intelligent Client (IC) roles. It is not intended to prescribe the detail of individual relationships between Client and Provider, but to set overarching standards that apply to those arrangements, minimum expectations for capability, and indications of best practice. It is based on the Government Functional Standard GovS 004: Property.

This document supports the Government Functional Standard for Property, GovS 004 which sets expectations for the management of all government property assets held by or on behalf of government departments and their arm’s length bodies.

This guidance should be read in conjunction with all the relevant government functional standards. The full suite of functional standards and associated guidance can be found at GOV.UK government functional standards.
