The five-year contract, with the opportunity to extend this a further two years, will see the Sodexo team deliver soft facility management services including cleaning, waste and food services across HMRC’s central and southern regions.
Paul Anstey, chief executive of government & agencies at Sodexo UK & Ireland said: ”We are excited to have been selected to deliver soft services to HMRC. The new contract will allow us to demonstrate the innovation we can bring, helping HMRC to deliver its objectives around staff attraction and retention, cultural change and delivering high levels of customer satisfaction.
“This contract reinforces our position as a trusted partner in providing a diverse range of services to significant government departments including the Ministry of Justice, Department for Work and Pensions and Scottish Government.”
The award of this contract is part of HMRC’s transformation, creating 13 Regional Centres across the UK. HMRC is also helping to transform the Civil Service into a modern employer that runs an efficient and sustainable government.
Mobilisation began in early April with the first phase of services going live from 1 August 2019.
