Abstract
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) has extended its soft FM services contract with global services company Sodexo for a further two years.

The contract, which is valued at £5m a year, will see Sodexo’s 350 colleagues continue to deliver catering, cleaning, security, waste services and grounds maintenance.

Iain Morris, acting director of asset management at Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “The partnering approach between Sodexo and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has been exceptional and is being described by us as a high performing exemplar for all other contractors to follow.

“The decision to extend the contract was relatively easy for SFRS to undertake as a direct result of the excellent services that the Sodexo teams have delivered across the entire SFRS estate in Scotland over the last four years. We are looking forward to another two years of working in partnership with Sodexo.”

The 420 SFRS locations include on call fire stations, offices and support locations.

Paul Anstey, chief executive of Government at Sodexo UK & Ireland, added: “We are delighted that our colleagues will continue to deliver services for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service which provides such an important service, helping to ensure the safety of local communities across Scotland.”
