Interserve wins £15 million contract with Metropolitan Police

Interserve, the international support services and construction group, has won a seven year special events services contract worth over £15 million with the Metropolitan Police Service.

The seven-year renewal builds on Interserve’s nineteen-year relationship with the police service and will see the company continuing to support operational policing throughout the capital during planned and unplanned events. This includes deploying traffic management services, engineering & procurement services such as temporary power, lighting, water utilities and event equipment.

The unique contract covers a diverse range of services and products including the manufacture and deployment of witness appeal and traffic signs, crime scene tents as well as supporting officers at demonstrations and ceremonial events to ensure public safety, by providing full signage and street furniture for road closures. Martin Burholt, managing director – communities, at Interserve said:

“We are delighted to be working with the Met Police, in providing a tailor-made solution which focuses on keeping the public safe. Our longstanding partnership demonstrates Interserve’s extensive experience and expertise in offering the highest level of determination and resilience to often highly sensitive and critical situations.”
