Across Government Facilities Management Arrangements

The Across Government Facilities Management Arrangements (AGFMA), also known simply as the Arrangements, play a crucial role in supporting the South Australian Government's efforts in maintaining, managing, and enhancing government building assets. These facilities are essential as they serve as the foundation for delivering vital community services. The AGFMA ensures that these assets are well-maintained and efficiently managed, aligning with the government's commitment to providing reliable and effective services to the community.

The Arrangements enable the SA Government to:

• establish asset standards and maintenance requirements
• identify the scope and extent of work to deliver an agreed outcome
• procure the delivery of the works at a fair and reasonable price
• ensure that the work is completed to the required standards and specifications
• periodically inspect facilities and assets to review and report on asset condition
• maintain the required public records
• appropriately manage risk and provide assurance across the asset management lifecycle.

For the benefit of:

• improved asset management
• improved risk management and identification
• alignment of work practices to Work Health and Safety (WHS) statutory requirements, codes of practice, standards and policies
• active performance management of service providers through a key performance indicator (KPI) framework
• access to specialist technical expertise
• compliance with a range of legislation and standards
• a flexible program that allows the work to change from year to year
• continuous improvement for improved customer satisfaction
• reduced costs through economies of scale

Scope of the AGFMA

All government owned sites which are operated by a Participating Agency of the Arrangements are In-scope of the AGFMA, unless the site is operated by a private entity – in such an instance, an agreement designating responsibilities for site and asset maintenance must be in place.
