The Environment Agency (EA) has awarded Interserve a two-year extension on its facilities services contract.

The deal is worth over £11 million and will see the construction group provide a range of services including maintenance, cleaning and security across more than 100 locations.

In addition, Interserve will introduce environmentally-friendly cleaning products to help reduce the EA's carbon footprint across its estates management operation.


Brian Talbot, Managing Director at Interserve, said: "We have built a great relationship with the Environment Agency over the past three years and have developed a strong understanding of the organisation and its requirements. This, coupled with our partnership with DEFRA, gives us a unique opportunity to identify significant combined operational efficiencies and deliver better value for both organisations."

David Scholey, deputy director of facilities management at the EA, added: "The smooth running of our estate is critical to day-to-day operations – to have continuity of service for a further two years through our ongoing partnership with Interserve is great news for the Environment Agency."
