Advising governments on how to identify, maintain and realise greater value from the public assets they own

Land, property, infrastructure and digital — the four domains of public assets

Most governments do not have a reliable picture of what they own. We build the registers, the data standards and the strategies that turn a scattered estate into an asset you can actually manage.

The problem

You cannot manage what you cannot see

Public estates are typically recorded across dozens of spreadsheets, legacy systems and departmental silos. Records disagree. Nobody is sure which is current. Decisions about billions of pounds of land, buildings and infrastructure get made on information nobody fully trusts.

Fragmented records

The same asset appears three times under three references, with three different areas and no agreed owner.

No spatial context

Without location, an asset register is a list. With it, you can see adjacency, overlap, risk exposure and opportunity.

Decisions without evidence

Disposal, investment and rationalisation choices rest on data that cannot be defended under scrutiny.

What we do

National and organisational asset registers

Public asset registers

We define scope, engage stakeholders and build the roadmap for registers that are scalable, trusted and accountable from day one — at national level or across a single department's estate. Asset referencing, spatial accuracy, governance and reporting that holds up to audit.

Public asset management strategy

Aligned to ISO 55001 and the ISO 55000 series, with the information management discipline of ISO 19650 underneath it. Strategy that connects the estate to policy outcomes rather than treating it as a maintenance backlog.

Information and data quality

Raising the quality of public asset information is the whole game. We apply geospatial standards, metadata, master data management and spatial data infrastructure so that one correction at source fixes every downstream report.

Better decisions

The point of a register is not the register. It is knowing which assets to invest in, which to dispose of, which are exposed to flood or heat, and which are quietly carrying the most risk.

Track record

Government and national-level work

GeoEnable and the wider GeoEnable Group have advised, trained or delivered standards-based asset and information management work for public bodies and global institutions — including the World Bank, UK Central Government and the Cabinet Office, Transport for London and London Underground, Network Rail, Ordnance Survey and High Speed 1.

UK Central Government

A strategic digital property asset register — defining scope, engaging stakeholders and developing a clear roadmap to improve decision-making, strengthen governance and deliver long-term public value across government land and buildings.

“Strong foundations for success.” Chief Data Officer, Cabinet Office

London Underground

A geospatial asset register linking GIS with IBM Maximo, giving a clear spatial view of assets that improved data accuracy, supported maintenance and operational response, and enabled better long-term investment planning.

High Speed 1

Station asset information and facilities management for the infrastructure behind Eurostar — defining scope, roles and capabilities to strengthen governance and reduce whole-life costs across the network.

Why it matters

Resilience, sustainability
and the value you already own

Resilience

A spatial register shows which assets sit in flood zones, which serve critical functions, and where a single failure cascades. Resilience planning needs to know where things are, not just that they exist.

Sustainability

Carbon, energy and biodiversity targets only become measurable when tied to real places. Good asset data turns sustainability commitments into something that can be evidenced rather than asserted.

Unlocked value

Surplus land identified. Underused buildings rationalised. Co-location opportunities found. The value is usually already there — it is the information that is missing.

This work sits directly alongside the UN Sustainable Development Goals — particularly those on sustainable cities and communities, industry, innovation and infrastructure, and responsible consumption. Better public asset information is not an administrative tidy-up. It is how a government knows whether it is meeting those commitments.

Know what you own

Whether you are standing up a national register or trying to make sense of one department's estate, the first step is the same: understand the information you already hold.
