A three year security contract with BAE Systems, the defence, aerospace and security manufacturer, has gone to MITIE.
The contract will see the facilities management company working with the Workplace Services team in BAE Systemsโ Real Estate Solutions, whose responsibilities include providing security services to about 7,000 employees on 22 sites across the UK.
The contract firm will be responsible for physical security, ensuring all needs are met from incident management, to manned guarding and systems monitoring. The outsourced services firm says that it was awarded the contract because of its technology-led approach based on MiTec, its technology centre based in Northern Ireland which provides remote security, its ability to operate through its MiTSM and eLearning platforms, and its specialist knowledge of the critical national infrastructure and defence sector.
Bob Forsyth, pictured, managing director of MITIEโs total security management business, said: โItโs exciting to be working with like-minded clients like BAE Systems who are embracing the integrated approach to security. Weโre really looking forward to developing our partnership over the next three years.โ
Colin Efford, Head of Delivery for Workplace Services, added: โWe were really impressed with MITIEโs joined-up thinking to technology and the โone teamโ ethos. MITIEโs systems will give us true visibility of the contract, enabling us to reduce costs and take an output specification approach.โ
