MITIE awarded two strategically important contracts with the Ministry of Justice

MITIE Group PLC, the strategic outsourcing and energy services company, has been awarded two contracts with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), following its appointment to the MoJ’s Total Facilities Management (TFM) Framework in July 2011. 

The FTSE 250 company has been awarded the total facilities management contracts for Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) in the South of England, and two prisons, at Brixton and Isis. This is the most that could have been awarded to MITIE through this tender process. 

Under the same Framework agreement, MITIE will also be eligible to bid for future opportunities to provide facilities management for other ministry properties, including prisons, across England & Wales. 

The contracts are for a five year period with a possible two year extension. With base contract values totalling approximately £40 million per annum and up to £25 million project works to be undertaken each year, the total value over the period will range between £200 million and £455 million. 

The contracts are for fully integrated facilities management and encompass security, cleaning, maintenance and project works, commencing on 1 February 2012. 

In addition to these contract awards, MITIE was also successfully appointed to the Minor Works Framework for the MoJ in April 2011. 

MITIE has formed a Justice sector business focussing solely on opportunities with the MoJ, the UK Border Agency and the police market. The contract to provide TFM for the courts in the South of England is MITIE’s most strategically important with the Government and is also its largest in the public sector. 

Ruby McGregor-Smith, Chief Executive of MITIE Group PLC, said: “We are delighted that the MoJ has awarded us these total facilities management contracts, which are strategically very significant for MITIE. We have a long track-record of supporting the MoJ and its estate and we look forward to building on this relationship further in the coming years.”
