Hot on the heels of its success in sealing business worth at least £80m with drinks giant Diageo and winning a contract with Essex County Council, outsourcing and energy services specialist MITIE ended a week of spectacular new business wins with a four-year minor works and maintenance contract with the West Midlands Construction Framework valued at up to £350m – with the possibility of a further two-plus-two years extension.
Current works include reactive and planned repair and maintenance to all non-housing council owned buildings, primarily with the Birmingham City Council South area.
As part of this framework, Bristol-based MITIE is eligible to work with up to 13 other local authorities within the West Midlands.
MITIE’ says the quality of service and strength of delivery on its current contract with Birmingham City Council helped secure a place in the new framework. The company has been working with Birmingham City Council since 1995, providing reactive and planned repair and maintenance to all non-housing Council owned buildings.
As part of the contract MITIE has undertaken to create at least 15 trainee or apprenticeship placements and to develop small and medium enterprises within its supply chain.
Bill Robson, managing director of MITIE’s property management business, said: “We look forward to working with other local authorities as part of this framework and investing in the local area through back-to-work programmes.”
The new framework adds to MITIE’s portfolio in the Midlands, including non-housing works and maintenance in Walsall Council and Tamworth Borough Council.
