Mitie has been awarded the security contract at Shrewsbury & Telford Hospitals NHS Trust following a competitive tender process. The two-year contract, with the option to extend a further two years, is worth £400,000 per annum.  

Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust runs the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, Shropshire. Mitie's security business will provide round the clock cover at both sites to maintain a safe environment for patients, visitors and staff, 365 days a year.

Mitie won the award based on its demonstrable expertise within healthcare security and its strong team of local management. The contract boosts Mitie’s large portfolio of NHS security contracts around the UK, including Oxford University Hospitals and University Hospital Southampton.

Jason Towse, Managing Director of Mitie’s security business, said:

"We are delighted to add Shrewsbury & Telford Hospitals to our growing portfolio of NHS security contracts around the UK. Mitie's continued investment in this sector, clear understanding of what makes excellent hospital security and proven track record will help the Trust ensure safety at these important local hospitals.”
