About Us

Experience. Structure. Independence.

SCHUHEN Consulting is a specialised management consultancy for facility management services. We combine operational practice with knowledge of procurement processes — and advise exclusively in the interest of our clients.

About Us

Who We Are

SCHUHEN Consulting is a management consultancy specialising in facility management services, based in Haimhausen near Munich. We support municipalities, authorities, public institutions, and private companies in the planning, tendering, procurement, and management of their facility management services. Our consulting is grounded in years of operational experience in managing, quality-assuring, and developing facility services. We know the requirements from practice — not just from theory.
Values

Our Principles

In our view, good consulting rests on three foundations: expertise, independence, and reliability. We represent exclusively the interests of our clients — with no ties to service providers, suppliers, or associations. Our recommendations are objectively justified, transparently documented, and aimed at the economically and qualitatively best outcome. We work in partnership, communicate clearly, and deliver on our commitments. Trust is the foundation of every successful collaboration — and it shows in the way we work.
Strengths

What Sets Us Apart

Hands-On Operational Experience

We know facility management services from operational management — not just from textbooks. This experience flows directly into our service specifications, evaluation matrices, and quality standards.

Knowledge of Procurement Practice

We have worked on the client side in the public sector and know the requirements of the procurement process first-hand. This enables results that are technically sound and reflect the specific characteristics of public sector contracting.

Complete Independence

We are not committed to any service provider, association, or supplier. Our recommendations are exclusively aligned with the interests of our clients.

Structured Methodology

Clear processes, transparent documentation, and a structured approach ensure the quality and transparency of our results — traceable within your organisation and defensible before supervisory bodies.

Sustainability

Sustainability as an Award Criterion.

For us, sustainability is not a marketing term but an integral part of every procurement procedure. We incorporate ecological, social, and economic sustainability criteria from the outset — in service specifications and in eligibility and award criteria — in a structured and verifiable format. Our membership in the Environmental and Climate Pact Bavaria underlines this commitment.

Trust That Counts

Selected projects from our consulting practice – for public and private clients.

Security Services

Major City, North Rhine-Westphalia

Public Client

For a major city in North Rhine-Westphalia, we conducted a comprehensive stock analysis across 40 properties and 160 municipal offices and departments — the foundation for a complete re-tendering of all security services as framework agreements via a restricted procedure with prior call for competition under VgV. Total contract value: approximately €80 million.

Building Cleaning

State Authority, Bavaria

Public Client

On behalf of a Bavarian state authority, we managed the complete re-tendering of routine and glass cleaning for five properties totalling approximately 72,000 m². We prepared all professional tender documents and accompanied the restricted procedure with prior call for competition under VgV — from the service specification through to the award recommendation.

Security Services

University, Northern Germany

Public Client

At a university in northern Germany, we conducted a thorough stock and needs analysis and developed a fully rethought security concept. The subsequent restricted procedure with prior call for competition under VgV — with a total volume of just under €8 million — placed strong emphasis on social criteria: above-tariff supplements were integrated into the award model as a quality indicator.

School Catering

District Town, Bavaria

Public Client

For a Bavarian district town, we supported the re-tendering of school catering for approximately 2,500 pupils. We developed a comprehensive quality and sustainability concept, prepared the full service specification, and accompanied the EU-wide procurement procedure through to contract award.

Building Cleaning

Public Broadcasting Facility, Western Germany

Public Client

For a public broadcaster in western Germany, we carried out a needs analysis and structured set of recommendations, followed by an open procurement procedure across four lots. The specification fully reflected the demanding operating environment — including cleaning during ongoing night-time production and the careful handling of sensitive technical equipment.

Kindergarten Catering

Municipality, Bavaria

Public Client

For a Bavarian municipality, we managed the re-tendering of kindergarten catering — covering more than 110,000 meals per year. Based on a tailored quality and sustainability concept, we prepared the complete service specification and accompanied the EU-wide procurement procedure through to contract award.
