Carillion selected by UK Government for new Facilities Management Services Agreement, under which up to GBP4.1 billion of services will be outsourced over the period to 2019

Carillion is one of only three companies to be selected for all three "Lots" in the UK Government's new Facilities Management Services agreement, namely, Total Facilities Management, Hard Facilities Management and Soft Facilities Management. In total, 19 suppliers have been selected for one or more of these three service Lots.

The new Agreement replaces the current framework for facilities management contracts and Central Government Departments, Executive Agencies and Non-Departmental Public Bodies will be mandated to use the new Agreement to purchase facilities management services. The Government expects between GBP1.3 billion and GBP4.1 billion of services to be outsourced using the new Agreement, which will run until July 2019.

The new Agreement is intended to provide public sector customers with a simplified and more efficient procurement framework that will reduce timescales for accessing facilities management services and the Government expects this to result in over GBP200 million of savings to public sector customers, while providing greater transparency and improved management information.

Carillion Chief Executive, Richard Howson, commented: "We are delighted to have secured one of only three places on this framework agreement for all three service Lots. Our selection further enhances our position as a leading provider of facilities management services to the public sector and should offer new opportunities to grow our UK support services business."
