INTERSERVE WINS GBP40 MILLION UK GOVERNMENT TOTAL FACILITIES
MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT
Interserve, the international support services and construction
group, has secured a new five-year total facilities management
account with six central government departments worth over GBP40
million.
Known as the 'Affiliate Cluster', the account covers the Cabinet
Office, the Department for International Development (DFID), the
Food Standards Agency (FSA), the Government Actuary's Department
(GAD), the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Office for
Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted). It
is the first time that all six departments' facilities management
services will be handled by a single provider. The deal hopes to
achieve annual double-digit cost savings across the six
departments.
The contract was awarded through the Crown Commercial Services
(CCS) Framework Agreement for Facilities Management Services and
will see Interserve deliver a broad range of services including
security, catering, front-of-house, as well as mechanical and
electrical maintenance. Through the new partnership, Interserve
will also incorporate the use of SMEs in line with Government
targets.
Alongside the new cross-departmental deal, Interserve also has
pre-existing partnerships with the Home Office (HO), the Foreign
& Commonwealth Office (FCO), the Department for Environment,
Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Health and Safety Laboratory
in Buxton (HSE).
Adrian Ringrose, Chief Executive at Interserve, said:
"We have excellent relationships in central government and are
very pleased to be expanding this partnership into new departments.
We feel that our extensive experience of delivering diverse,
complex facilities management services for government makes us the
ideal partner for this combined contract. Ahead of the start of
this contract we are focusing on the training and development of
our people, to ensure we continue to provide the highest standard
of customer service."
John Manzoni, Chief Executive of the Civil Service, said:
"Bringing the support services together under a single
overarching account will deliver significant benefits for each
department and for the government as a whole. Thanks to the
efficiencies that our partnership with Interserve will deliver, we
will achieve consistent service level across the estate whilst
bringing savings; ensuring we are delivering real value to
taxpayers."
