Maintenance firm signs £3.6m contract with ambulance service
Nottingham-based building and maintenance services company, J Tomlinson, has signed a three-year, £3.6m contract with East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) to provide facilities management (FM).
The contract, which includes a possible two-year extension, covers the management of planned and reactive works and grounds maintenance to EMAS buildings, including ambulance stations, training centres, air ambulance units, patient reception centres and standby locations, across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Managing director repairs, maintenance and FM at J Tomlinson, Steve Kirkland, said: “J Tomlinson is very pleased to have partnered with East Midlands Ambulance Service to manage the organisation’s facilities management following safe mobilisation of the contract in the midst of the Covid-19 national lockdown period earlier this year.
“As a specialist provider of FM services to the blue-light sector, we are well-versed in the challenges and sensitivities of working in this environment – particularly in light of the current global pandemic, which has significantly increased demands on urgent and emergency care across the UK. We’re proud to support EMAS in remaining fully operational and able to deliver emergency response across the East Midlands – which is particularly vital given the current climate.”
The appointment covers a comprehensive facilities management service, including service, repairs and planned improvement works spanning the maintenance of building and civil engineering, firefighting equipment and systems, automatic doors, drainage, ventilation, heating, critical power, power systems, lifts, water service, security lock code changes, fuel storage, pest control, and grounds and maintenance.
