How can the UK’s public sector ensure its estates remain efficient, sustainable, and fit for the future?

According to the Office for National Statistics, in 2024, public-sector FM spending exceeded £14.5 billion, a 31% rise over four years, as government departments and local authorities faced mounting pressure to modernise and maintain an ageing estate. Yet the scale of the task remains immense: the National Audit Office estimates a maintenance backlog of £49 billion across public buildings, from schools to hospitals, while more than 70% of FM providers report difficulties recruiting skilled staff. Public bodies must align with the Government Property Strategy and the Net Zero 2050 target by retrofitting vast property portfolios, improving energy performance, and embedding social value into every stage of procurement and delivery.

The Institute of Government & Public Policy has earned a reputation for delivering insightful and thought-provoking facilities and estate management conferences. The Institute of Government & Public Policy's National Facilities Management in the Public Sector Show 2026 will bring together estates leaders, facilities professionals, sustainability experts and strategic suppliers to explore practical solutions to these shared challenges.

Join the Institute of Government & Public Policy for the National Facilities Management in the Public Sector Show 2026, which has been designed to address these critical challenges head-on. Bringing together senior estates leaders, facilities professionals, policymakers, and suppliers, the event will explore how the sector can leverage technology, data, and innovation to improve performance and resilience.
