An FM (facilities management) contract for Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) has been retained by the incumbent FM provider.

After a re-tendering exercise carried out under EU tendering procedures, Arthur McKay Ltd, the building support services company that’s part of the contractor Servest Group, has been awarded a four year contract with a two-option to extend. During the contract, Arthur McKay reports, it has delivered cost and energy savings, and improvements in service delivery.

The contract includes electrical, mechanical, refrigeration and fabric planned and reactive maintenance, 24/7 help desk and emergency service, projects and small works, cleaning, security, landscaping and grounds maintenance and energy management. The new contract will commence on April 1, 2017. As well as delivering savings to the SCTS and COPFS the contract will commit payment to the Scottish Living Wage for all those working on the contract

David Currie, Director of Property and Services at SCTS said: “Throughout the current contract the Arthur McKay team have provided consistent levels of service delivery, and this integrity and reliability, coupled with their customer focus and continuous improvement, forms the cornerstone of our well-developed and continuing partnership.”

And Michael Floyd, Managing Director of Facilities Management at Arthur McKay said: “I am delighted that Arthur McKay has been awarded the new contract by the SCTS and COPFS. We have an excellent relationship with the SCTS and COPFS teams and have worked together to deliver significant cost and efficiency savings, together with improvements in service and customer satisfaction. Also, with Arthur McKay recently becoming a Servest group company, I can only see this relationship and savings grow further in the future.”
