The use of the Balanced Scorecard approach becomes mandatory for all central government departments and their agencies as existing contracts are renewed. This has now been enshrined in the updated Crown Commercial Service Facilities Management (FM) Framework which becomes effective early in 2018. The FM Framework is updated every 4 years.
