MITIE Group PLC, the outsourcing company, has been awarded two contracts with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), after its appointment to the MoJ‚Äôs Total Facilities Management (TFM) Framework in July 2011….
The FTSE 250 contractor has been awarded the total facilities management contracts for Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) in the South of England, and two prisons, at Brixton and Isis. This is the most that could have been awarded to the contract firm through this tender process.
Under the same framework agreement, MITIE will also be eligible to bid for future opportunities to provide facilities management for other ministry properties, including prisons, across England and Wales.
The contracts are for a five year period with a possible two year extension. With base contract values totalling about £40m per annum and up to £25m project works to be undertaken each year, the total value over the period will range between £200m and £455m.
The contracts are for what the contractor calls fully integrated facilities management and encompass security, cleaning, maintenance and project works, commencing on February 1, 2012.
MITIE was also appointed to the Minor Works Framework for the MoJ in April 2011.
MITIE has formed a Justice sector business focussing solely on opportunities with the MoJ, the UK Border Agency and the police market. The contract to provide TFM for the courts in the South of England is, the firm says, its most strategically important with the Government and is also its largest in the public sector.
Ruby McGregor-Smith, Chief Executive of MITIE Group PLC, said: “We are delighted that the MoJ has awarded us these total facilities management contracts, which are strategically very significant for MITIE. We have a long track-record of supporting the MoJ and its estate and we look forward to building on this relationship further in the coming years.”
