Procuring Facilities Management (FM) Services

Learn about BCA's FM01 workhead registration and comprehensive four-stage procurement guide for facilities management services in Singapore's public sector.

Last updated 19 March 2026

What registration is required for FM service providers?

FM01 workhead registration

All FM companies providing integrated facilities management (IFM) or managing agent (MA) services for public sector projects must be registered under the appropriate workhead in BCA's Facilities Management (FM) Registry- specifically the FM01 workhead, to participate in government FM tenders.

Understanding Integrated Facilities Management (IFM)

Integrated Facilities Management refers to the provision of at least two distinct FM services by the same company. The service provider may either deliver the services directly or outsource and centrally manage the services. 

The six distinct FM service categories are:

  • Building maintenance services

  • Mechanical & electrical maintenance services

  • Security services

  • Cleaning services

  • Landscape services

  • Pest control

Companies seeking to provide individual maintenance services (rather than integrated services) should refer to the Facilities Management Registry, which covers FM02 (Housekeeping & Cleansing), FM03 (Landscaping), and FM04 (Pest Control) workheads.

Guide on FM Procurement

Procurement framework

BCA and the Facilities Management Implementation Committee (FMIC) Procurement Taskforce have developed the FM procurement guide covering best practices across four critical stages of the FM tender lifecycle:
