MITIE Group PLC, the strategic outsourcing and energy services company, has successfully retained and expanded a contract to provide integrated facilities management (FM) and energy services to the Cumbrian Collaboration. 

The FTSE 250 company has been awarded the contract for a period of five years, with a possible extension to a seven year maximum. The Cumbrian Collaboration includes Sellafield Limited, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), Direct Rail Services, Low Level Waste Repository Limited and International Nuclear Services. 

The new contract will cover over 500 buildings across a range of sites in the UK, with major activity in Sellafield, Cumbria and Cheshire and has an estimated total value of £200 million over the term of the contract. MITIE will start the enlarged integrated FM contract in January 2012. 

Over 500 people will be employed as part of the contract and the services provided will include: facilities management, building maintenance; security; cleaning; waste management; catering and other FM and energy services. 

This award builds on MITIE’s 11-year relationship with both Sellafield Limited and the NDA and is a testament to the quality of service and strong health and safety record that has been delivered by the MITIE team. 

The contract was tendered through the Government Procurement Service (formerly the Office of Government and Commerce Buying Solutions), Facilities Management Framework Agreement. 

Ruby McGregor-Smith, Chief Executive of MITIE Group PLC, said: “This is another excellent contract award for MITIE and we are delighted to be developing our strategic relationship with the Cumbrian Collaboration. We have an extensive track record of supporting them in the management of their estate and look forward to working with them to provide world-class outsourced and energy services in the coming years.”

Notes for editors

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:

Strategy and consultancy
+ Facilities and project management
+ Service delivery

Our strategic input can add value at the highest level by helping clients to manage their assets, while our practical management expertise can save customers money and reduce their carbon emissions. 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.

There’s a lot more to MITIE than you probably think. We’re a big company with big ambitions – a leading FTSE 250 support services business, with more than 61,000 people, revenues in excess of £1.9bn, and a reputation for being the best.
