A contract to provide integrated facilities management (FM) for Network Rail, the UK rail and network infrastructure provider, has been renewed with the FM firm Mitie.
The contract, with a total base value of £75m over a five-year period, will see the contractor continue to deliver services across Network Rail’s UK property. The FM contractor will work at over 100 Network Rail buildings across Britain, mainly in the corporate office estate, including the main campus at The Quadrant:MK in Milton Keynes.
Mitie will be responsible for delivering a range of services including fabric and engineering maintenance, energy management, security, cleaning, mailroom and couriers, helpdesk, waste and pest services. The contract company says that it was awarded the contract extension based on its innovative and technology driven self-delivery capabilities, combined with a distinct cultural approach.
Ruby McGregor-Smith CBE, Chief Executive of Mitie, said: “We are delighted to be building on our long-term strategic partnership with Network Rail and supporting them in delivering better value and efficiency across their business. Safety, reliability and efficiency are central to Network Rail’s vision for Britain’s rail infrastructure. We look forward to further developing a tailored and innovative FM strategy, and providing high quality services to support this vision.”
And Nigel Bunclark, Director Workplace Management at Network Rail said: “After a competitive procurement process we are looking forward to continuing our relationship with Mitie under the new contract. It is an opportunity to work together to advance our strategy of providing great workplaces that are value-for-money, fit-for-purpose and sustainable. Mitie understands our vision to give our people efficient, effective and engaging workplaces.”
