EMCOR Group (UK) Awarded Contract by Hampshire County Council For The Castle Complex In Winchester
13th July 2009
EMCOR Group (UK) is proud to announce that it has been awarded a £1.5 million contract by Hampshire County Council. The new two year contract, with the option to extend for a further two years, follows on from a successful six year relationship with the County Council (which involves managing the maintenance of buildings in Area A, covering Basingstoke, Andover, and Winchester), and will now involve the provision of hard and soft facilities management services at the Castle Complex, the council's headquarters in Winchester. EMCOR Group (UK) provides engineering services, facilities management and sustainable business solutions for a diverse range of private and public sector organisations.
Following an extensive tendering process, EMCOR was chosen for its experience, significant technical expertise and the breadth of services it could provide. Under the new agreement the scope of work will be extended to include mechanical and electrical services, building fabric maintenance, and reactive and planned building maintenance, as well as managing a helpdesk facility for hard and soft services. The support services that EMCOR provides will help to support the work of the County Council, as the third largest shire county in the land, in its continued delivery of top quality local services to 1.26 million Hampshire residents.
The County Council has been given the top rating for performance and the quality of its services by the Government watchdog, the Audit Commission, for the last seven years. The County Council has also received the top rating for value for money while having a council tax that is the lowest among all county councils in the south east.
Mr. David Parker, Divisional Director, EMCOR Facilities Services said, "We are delighted that Hampshire County Council has selected EMCOR to support the delivery of first class services to people who live and work in Hampshire. The success at Hampshire has been achieved through building a successful and genuine collaborative approach, understanding the client's objectives and goals, and delivering best practice from the private sector into the public arena."
