KBR are a global technical solutions provider with 28,000 employees worldwide, with operations in 34 countries delivering to customers in 80 countries. KBR work collaboratively with their wide customer base to deliver solutions that strive to create a better, safer and more sustainable world.
KBR’s Estates Intelligence division specialise in enabling clients to make informed decisions about the operational and strategic management of their estates and asset portfolios, including the external supply chain retained to deliver asset management and maintenance services. Estates Intelligence teams utilise the ‘6 As’ Methodology to deliver business benefit by deploying their ‘Viaverse’ platform to enable each A – aggregation of data, automation of transactional processing and operational data flows, assurance of process and data integrity to promote sanctity of management information, audit of processing and data to better refine business outcomes, analytics to offer management information and insight, all to enable enhanced asset management acrossclient’s portfolio.
KBR’s latest Viaverse was deployed for the Department of Work & Pensions Estates (DWP-E) to deliver the ‘Integrator2’ platform in May 2022. This platform acts as the ‘single source of truth’ for DWP Estates teams in ensuring consistent, performant and efficient lifecycle management of assets across their public-facing and back-office sites. The platform manages real time transactional flows to DWP Estates supply chain partners and delivers reliable management information and insight to DWP Estate stakeholders.
DWP-E have embarked on a major programme of re-procurement of the asset management services delivered from the KBR ‘Integrator2’ platform – this is known as the ‘Workplace Services Programme’ or ‘WPS’. Current services have been redesigned and packaged into six new service lots (Total Facilities Management, Manned Guarding, Security Contact Centre, Fire Risk Assessment, Water Risk Assessment, Asbestos Risk Assessment), each of which will constitute a project to redesign the current platform and a scale transition of current service to new service – each project will consist of design, build, test, transition and hypercare, and is likely to include significant data transition and operational change for the client. The Programme has already been initiated, has a series of staggered operational go lives and ‘hypercare periods’, and is expected to run to a transition to BAU milestone around November 2025
