Building maintenance partnership
What is the Building Maintenance Partnership?
The Building Maintenance Partnership (BMP6) is a project to help schools manage delegated repairs, maintenance and legislative and statutory responsibilities.
BMP6 is a collective, non-profit making building maintenance scheme owned by member schools and is managed on behalf of the member schools by the BMP Board. The BMP Board comprises Head Teachers and Governors, together with officers from the County Council and NPS Property Consultants Ltd (part of Norse Consulting).
Schools pay an agreed premium for membership of the BMP and NPS Property Consultants Ltd manage maintenance requirements in accordance with the scope of the scheme.
What are the aims of the BMP6?
The aims of the partnership are:
- To relieve schools of the need to manage the majority of building maintenance issues.
- To relieve schools of the responsibility to arrange compliance servicing and testing.
- To provide peace of mind for schools with regard to major building or engineering plant failure.
- To simplify the division of responsibilities between the school and the Local Authority.
What are the timescales and membership options of BMP6?
The BMP6 project is the sixth scheme offered to all maintained eligible Norfolk Schools and commenced on 1 April 2025 for a five-year period.
Two levels of membership are offered:
- Full membership: Includes the compliance package and covers revenue maintenance
- Compliance membership: Ensuring that schools are legal
