Your clients have the lost property problem — you can offer the solution

Facilities management and security companies often support clients across offices, campuses, venues, transport environments, public buildings, retail destinations and high-footfall sites.

Those clients face the same lost property issues as the sectors they operate in: storage pressure, customer enquiries, manual searches, unclear ownership checks, return arrangements and risk around valuable or data-bearing items.

CLPS gives FM and security providers a practical way to solve those problems for clients without building a lost property operation from scratch.

Lost property creates pressure across managed sites

Whether your client operates a public venue, commercial building, campus, transport location or visitor environment, lost property can quickly become a drain on site teams.

Items handed to security or reception

Lost property is often handed to the people most visible on site, usually security, reception or facilities teams.

Storage pressure on site

Unclaimed items can sit in cupboards, offices, control rooms or back-of-house areas for weeks or months.

Client service expectations

Clients expect a professional, reliable process for visitors, staff, tenants and customers who lose property.

Risk around valuable items

Phones, laptops, wallets, bags, keys, access cards and documents can create handling, privacy and ownership verification concerns.

Time taken from core duties

Every enquiry, search, claim check or return arrangement takes security and facilities teams away from their main responsibilities.

Inconsistent processes"

Different sites, shifts or contractors may handle found property in different ways, making the process harder to control.

A service add-on for FM and security companies

CLPS can be offered as an additional service to your clients, helping you strengthen your proposal, solve a real operational problem and create a more complete site management offer.

Instead of your teams trying to store, process and return lost property themselves, CLPS provides the secure collection, off-site storage, CCTV processing, claim review, owner verification and courier return support behind the service.

This gives your clients a better lost property process while giving your business a new service line.

OEM, reseller and managed service options

CLPS can support facilities management and security companies in different ways depending on the client relationship and contract model.

You may want CLPS to operate as a visible specialist partner, as a referred service, or as part of your own managed service offer. The structure can be discussed around your clients, sites, commercial model and service requirements.

Partner referral

You introduce CLPS to clients who need lost property support, with an agreed commercial arrangement where appropriate.

Multi-site rollout

How CLPS solves the client’s lost property problem

For the end client, CLPS provides a secure and practical lost property process.

Found items are placed into CLPS-provided bags, boxes or containers kept securely on site. Once sealed, CLPS collects the containers and transports them to our secure warehouse.

Items are processed under CCTV, registered, photographed and stored securely for the agreed retention period. When claims are received, CLPS reviews the details, verifies ownership and supports the owner’s chosen courier delivery option.

This reduces workload for site teams while improving the experience for visitors, staff, tenants or customers trying to recover lost property.

Suitable for a wide range of client sites

CLPS can support lost property services across many of the environments already served by facilities management and security providers.:

Commercial office buildings

Business parks

Retail destinations

Shopping centres

Public venues

Universities and campuses

Hospitals and healthcare sites

Local authority buildings

Visitor attractions

Event venues

Mixed-use developments

A stronger offer for tenders and client renewals

Lost property is often a small part of a wider facilities or security contract, but it can still affect client satisfaction, visitor experience and site team workload.

Adding CLPS to your service offer can help strengthen tenders, renewals and account growth conversations by showing clients that you can reduce admin, improve control, support sustainability reporting and offer a clearer process for people trying to recover lost items.

Sustainability value for you and your clients

CLPS operates as a net zero service and works across collection, storage, processing and return activity to reduce environmental impact.

Where applicable, CO₂ removal certificates can be provided for CLPS operations and client lost property activity, helping support ESG reporting, sustainability commitments and environmental accountability.

For FM and security providers, this adds another useful point of value in client conversations.
