JLL to hold large Federal Government property portfolio in Australia after major wins

JLL has been named Property Service Provider under the Whole of Australian Government (WoAG) property procurement tender.

JLL will provide integrated facilities management services to 34 government agencies, spanning more than 3.6 million square metres across more than 3200 leased and owned properties.

Steve Mackintosh, JLL’s Head of Government Business, said JLL has been providing property services to Australian Federal Government Departments for over twenty years.

“JLL was selected for this latest significant Government property portfolio following a competitive tender and this appointment reinforces our strong position in the government sector in Australia," he said.

“The appointment will also showcase the specialised skills of JLL in a comprehensive range of property management services, including contractor management, lease acquisition and administration, facility management services, procurement, help desk, environmental management, financial services and reporting.”

Chris Hunt, JLL’s Managing Director, Integrated Facilities Management, Australasia, said these major new Federal Government contracts build on the firm’s strong platform of Government clients.

“The Whole of Australian Government property procurement tender has allowed us to aggregate work and put much more efficient teams together to work across major departments.”

Evolve FM—a joint venture with PSG Holdings where JLL is the minority stakeholder —has also been appointed as a provider.
