The US General Services Administration (GSA) announced yesterday that it is modifying its lease delegation policy.
Administrator Lurita Doan said that the changes were aimed at improving consistency, monitoring and other variables that impact upon the workspace provided to client agencies and the cost to the public.
"As the government's premier procurement agency, GSA must ensure that the leasing delegation program is being administered in the most effective and efficient manner possible," Ms Lurita noted, adding that the oversight of all GSA-delegated authorities will be increased.
She further stated that the modifications would help the administration fulfil its primary function of enabling client agencies to focus more fully on core mandates by limiting wasted resources.
The policy amendments will come in the form of a revised version of the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) and FMR Bulletin 2008-B1, and have been adopted following feedback from auditors who reviewed lease procurement files.
They come on the heels of reports by the US Government Accountability Office and GSA Inspector General's Office which warned of weaknesses in the lease delegation policy.
