100 jobs to be created following new contract win
A Leeds multi-service provider is set to create over 100 jobs, after a successful bid to partner newly formed Confederation Primary Care Property (CPCP) providing facilities management services for the city’s GP practices.
The contract has been awarded to Servo Group, which provides full Facilities Management (FM) services, SIA licensed security, CCTV, vetted and screened rail labour, property management and construction services.
Servo won an eight-way tender process, headed by recently appointed FM director Martine Harney, to provide facilities management services to practices across Leeds.
It will provide planned and reactive maintenance, cleaning, waste management, grounds works, refurbs and security services to all the surgeries across the city.

Harney said: “This contract win is a real coup for Servo – we’re thrilled to have won it, and to be creating a further 100 jobs in Leeds, at such an economically challenging time.
“The environmental and cost-saving benefits will be enormous too, which is paramount at the moment in the middle of the current pandemic.
“Ultimately more patients will be cared for because of the streamlined measures we are to put in place.”
Despite the Covid-19 crisis, Servo Group has taken its projected annual turnover to £12m, just six years after the firm was founded. The business has also recruited five more head office employees.
Servo Group already has over 600 operatives working nationwide across its divisions, which will be boosted by this latest wave of job creation from the CPCP contract.
Harney added: “This win is testament to the hard work of all our team and the fantastic reputation Servo is gaining year-on-year.
“We are honoured to be able help to streamline processes for practices at such a crucial and challenging time.”
Servo’s client list includes high profile clients such as National Rail, Keir, GMI, Buckingham Group and Balfour Beatty.
It recently launched an eco-friendly alternative to bricks and mortar on some of its major rail, housing and highway projects, and last year it invested £150,000 into expanding its sub-divisions on Gelderd Road to facilitate the company’s growth.
The operative roles created by this latest contract win will be across all the company’s facilities management, security, maintenance and cleaning divisions and all in Leeds.
