Amey in £150m London council win

Open-access content Tuesday 11th June 2013 — updated 1.53pm, Tuesday 5th May 2020
11 June 2013

Amey has been awarded a £150 million, 10-year FM contract with three London councils.


The deal sees Amey combine FM services at Westminster City Council, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.

The combined deal, which is expected to save each council over £2 million annually, includes building security, maintenance, catering, landscaping, cleaning and environmental management.

Service mobilisation will begin in June and the contract is expected to start from October this year.

All other London boroughs and schools will have the opportunity to buy into the service as partnering authorities.

Cllr Nicholas Paget-Brown, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea's Leader, said: "By sharing facilities management across the three councils we will be able to save money, protect frontline services and keep taxes low during a time of unprecedented pressure on local government finances. "Through our tri-borough working we are proving to residents and other local authorities that this approach works and provides even better services."  

Mel Ewell, chief executive of Amey said: "Working collaboratively with the councils will bring together service delivery expertise from the public and private sector, helping us to achieve their vision of enhanced services and greater efficiencies."  

Cllr Nicholas Botterill, Leader of Hammersmith & Fulham Council, said: "In these difficult economic times, we are showing categorically that by making simple common-sense reforms like this it is possible to protect and even improve front line services."

Cllr Philipa Roe, Leader of Westminster City Council, said: "Combining back-office services and management costs in this manner is also helping us to reduce council tax and it is no surprise that our three councils are in Britain's top four for having low tax."
