MITIE awarded integrated facilities management contract with world-famous Royal Opera House

MITIE, the strategic outsourcing company, is proud to announce it has recently been awarded the integrated facilities management (FM) contract by the world-famous Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden, home to The Royal Opera and The Royal Ballet. 

The Royal Opera House was impressed with MITIE’s integrated FM proposition which brings together soft facilities management service capabilities such as security and cleaning services with technical facilities management skills. Over 100 MITIE people will operate around the clock to deliver services which include engineering, cleaning, security, telephony, mail and reprographics. The contract is valued at £19m and is for a five-year period. 

The Royal Opera House began a six month tender process with a view to developing a consolidated approach to their FM service delivery. MITIE was able to demonstrate to the Royal Opera House its ability to deliver the tendered services under one contract, combining exceptional service levels befitting the magnificent Royal Opera House along with significant operating and energy efficiencies. 

Martin Holt, MD of MITIE’s Technical Facilities Management division said: “We were able to offer The Royal Opera House a fully integrated facilities management model, which, along with our commitment to quality, efficiency and innovation, has set us apart. We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with such a prestigious partner and look forward to providing world-class services to the Royal Opera House.”

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 56,000 people, revenues in excess of £1.7bn, and a reputation for being the best.
