A five-year document management and logistics services contract with The Law Society has gone to the Document Management arm of facilities management (FM) contractor Mitie, after following a tender process. These services were previously delivered in-house by the professional body.
Mitie is to provide mail room management, porterage, reprographics, scanning, records management, and purchasing services. The FM firm says these will be delivered using a fully integrated solution aligned to The Law Society’s WorkSmart project, which is focused on modernisation by bringing people, processes and technology together.

We look forward to developing a long-term partnership, which enables The Law Society to focus on its member’s needs whilst trusting in Mitie’s expertise and innovative technology to deliver all its document management requirements.”

Mitie offered a great level of expertise, technology and really understood our needs which set them apart. We look forward to welcoming them as a supply chain partner at The Law Society.”
