The London Borough of Croydon has extended Interserve’s total FM contract until 2016, in a deal worth £10 million annually.
Interserve has had the contract since 2006 and “realised £6 million worth of savings”, according to a company statement.
Croydon is the largest London borough with around 350,000 residents and 350 properties. It includes a listed town hall, office complexes, libraries, restaurants, sheltered housing, care homes, schools, youth and day centres, community centres, crematoria and cemeteries.
Interserve delivers core services including building maintenance, security, cleaning, mailroom, reprographics, energy and utilities management, room bookings, porterage and minor and major projects.
The contract also includes strategic services such as health and safety, asset and lifecycle management and sustainable development.
Keith Dorling, managing director of civil government business at Interserve, said recent research, undertaken in partnership with YouGovStone, revealed that many councils are still getting to grips with the scale of the efficiency savings they need to make. “This fiscal challenge is likely to mean radical changes in the way services are delivered.”
