Chesterfield Borough Council modernises estate and facilities management with MRI Software

Chesterfield Borough Council has selected MRI Software’s property, lease, and facilities management solutions to modernise its processes and drive innovation. This strategic investment supports the Council’s ambitions.

A Fully Integrated Property and Facilities Platform

At the heart of Chesterfield’s transformation is the implementation of MRI’s property management solution, a powerful tool that enables the Council to centralise and track lease agreements, automate renewal reminders, and manage key financial obligations. This ensures greater compliance and reduced risk across the commercial property portfolio. The solution will further enhance financial transparency, reporting accuracy, and operational oversight across Chesterfield’s diverse property estate, supporting better decision-making, improved asset utilisation, and timely income recovery.

Complementing this, the adoption of MRI Evolution equips the Council with a robust digital system to support facilities management activities which include managing both reactive and planned maintenance activities. With improved visibility into asset conditions, works order tracking, and contractor performance, Chesterfield can proactively maintain its operational and commercial estate, reduce downtime, and optimise resources.

Supporting Council Priorities Through Digital Innovation

This investment in digital innovation aligns directly with Chesterfield Borough Council’s strategic vision, as set out in its 2023–2027 Council Plan. The modernisation of estate and facilities management will help the Council:

• Create a thriving borough through more efficient use of land and buildings
• Improve quality of life for local people with better-maintained facilities and faster response times to maintenance issues
• Build a resilient council by improving data access, boosting compliance, and reducing reliance on manual systems

A spokesperson for Chesterfield Borough Council, said:

We are dedicated to delivering high-quality, responsive services to both commercial tenants and the wider community. Our investment in MRI Software represents a major step in improving how we manage commercial contracts and property data. The team at MRI demonstrated a deep understanding of local government needs, and we are excited to move forward.

Partnership for Long-Term Success

MRI Software worked closely with the council throughout the procurement phase, ensuring that each system addressed specific operational goals. The integrated approach will allow for improved collaboration across departments, mobile access to central data, and better-informed decision-making.

We’re proud to welcome Chesterfield Borough Council to the MRI Software community. Their focus on compliance and process efficiency is well supported by our technology, and this collaboration will drive a number of measurable improvements in service delivery and internal operations.

Chesterfield now joins over 250 Local Authorities using MRI Software, showing its ongoing success and proven impact across the public sector.
