The deal is a two-year extension to an original three-year Corporation's National Security Contract. The account extension will get underway in early 2017.

The company is the BBC's integrated facilities management partner and delivers workplace support and services including cleaning, maintenance, mechanical and electrical, signage and waste management.

Since April 2014, it has provided the BBC with various security services including all manned guarding, close protection and control room operations at numerous sites such as Broadcasting House in London, Pacific Quay in Glasgow and the Media City UK complex in Salford.

Tom Ward, director of operations for security at Interserve, said: "We have a strong working relationship and have built up a track record of delivering outstanding service across a large and diverse portfolio. We look forward to continuing our work with the Corporation for a further two years."
