MITIE Group PLC, the strategic outsourcing and energy services company, has been awarded two contracts with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), following its appointment to the MoJ’s Total Facilities Management (TFM) Framework in July 2011. 

The FTSE 250 company 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 MITIE 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 & Wales. 

The contracts are for a five year period with a possible two year extension. With base contract values totalling approximately £40 million per annum and up to £25 million project works to be undertaken each year, the total value over the period will range between £200 million and £455 million. 

The contracts are for fully integrated facilities management and encompass security, cleaning, maintenance and project works, commencing on 1 February 2012. 

In addition to these contract awards, MITIE was also successfully 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 MITIE’s 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.”

What is MITIE?
We’re the strategic outsourcing company. What does that mean in practice? We manage facilities, properties and assets for our clients across the UK and beyond.

We work with our clients in three ways; some take full advantage of our whole range of expertise, others may only need one aspect of what we do:

We work with a vast number of clients in every industry across both the public and private sectors and deliver the broadest range of services that can be found in one place: from integrated facilities management to engineering maintenance to lifecycle energy management and much more.
