The contract, which boasts a total value in excess of GB pound 100 million over a five-year period, will see MITIE deliver services across Sky’s estate in the UK and Ireland from January 2013.
As well as its two main campuses in London and Scotland, MITIE will work at 12 regional offices, two data centres and dozens of ‘POP’ (Internet exchange points) sites.
MITIE will have responsibility for delivering a range of services including security, fabric maintenance, engineering maintenance, energy management, catering, cleaning, mail room and courier, Helpdesk, switchboard, shuttle buses, grounds maintenance and internal landscaping.
MITIE also recently completed a project to build an on-site wind turbine at Sky’s new broadcast facility Sky Studios (based in Osterley, West London). At what is the most sustainable broadcast facility of its type in Europe, the turbine will provide over 133 MWh of clean energy to the studios every year.
MITIE was awarded the contract based on “innovative ideas, self-delivery capabilities and its cultural approach”.
Ruby McGregor-Smith CBE, CEO of MITIE Group PLC, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Sky and look forward to creating what will be a truly collaborative partnership. Sky is a dynamic company and MITIE will ensure the FM strategy brings the highest quality services, value and innovation to its business.”
