Carillion lands support services contracts totalling £80m
CONSTRUCTION and support services giant, Carillion, has been awarded support services contracts worth a combined £80m.
The Wolverhampton-based group has won the business from the operator of Heathrow Airport and Barts Health NHS Trust.
At Heathrow Airport, Carillion will provide a range of soft facilities management services together with fabric maintenance for Terminals 3 and 5, under a contract that will run until March 2019. At Terminal 2, Carillion is providing hard facilities management services, including planned and reactive mechanical and electrical engineering maintenance, under a contract, which, including options for extensions, will run until December 2017. These contracts are in addition to the one Carillion already has to provide a range of hard and soft facilities management services for Terminal 1.
The group said the latest contracts extended the scale and scope of the support services it was providing for Terminals 1, 2, 3 and 5 and further consolidated the strong relationship it has with Heathrow Airport Limited.
Carillion has also signed a 22-month contract with Barts Health NHS Trust to provide soft facilities management services to a number of the trust’s properties, including Whipps Cross and Mile End hospitals. This extends the relationship Carillion has had with Barts Health for which Carillion already provides soft services at the prestigious Barts and Royal London hospitals.
Richard Howson, Carillion chief executive, said: “We are delighted to have been selected for these contracts, which continue our success in work-winning in 2014. We look forward to building on the strong relationships we have developed with Heathrow Airport and with Barts Health and to working with them to support the delivery of an excellent experience for customers and patients.”
The deals complete a busy week for Carillion, which announced on Monday it had agreed to acquire a 60% interest in the trade and assets of Canada’s Rokstad Power Corporation in a deal worth up to £33m.
And it has agreed to buy the remaining 40% after five years for a maximum fee of £42m.
