SLA’s and their definitions may be enterprise-wide across an individual account, or may vary by country, area, site, service or end user-group, documented individually within local formal SLA and SOW flow-downs. SLA’s may also change throughout the term of the contract, according to the changing requirements of CBRE and clients and to accommodate fluctuations in building population or occupancy types etc.,
Service levels are defined and agreed between CBRE and the Supplier partner prior to contract go-live and in accordance with the relevant terms of the flow-downs either in place or in the process of completion.
SLA’s shall be developed with Service Specifications and Service Standards. The SLA’s may only be modified through formal documented authorisation and approval by CBRE through an agreed change control process for each SLA revision. Authorised changes to SLA’s shall not become effective until the formal authorisation process is concluded, Client authorisation has been obtained and key stakeholders, affected parties and clients are appropriately informed.
CBRE is responsible to ensure that the supplier adheres to and delivers upon the service levels within the SLAs, making every effort to swiftly remediate any situation where Service performance falls outside of agreed service levels and within agreed timelines. Understanding the true drivers behind a supplier not delivering an agreed SLA is key when managing Security Services as they can change regularly. There are often logistic or labour resource challenges for Security Service Supplier partners that create issues with SLA archival, must be identified and understood in order to effectively remediate sub-standard Supplier partner performance.
The key metrics to measure the SLA performance should be aligned to the Client contract metrics, identified and documented with the Supplier partner, representing the agreed KPI’s against which the Supplier partners performance shall be managed.
