Interserve has won a £16 million contract to provide total facilities management services to the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).

The one-year deal is an extension of the company's previous contract with the MoJ over the last eight years.

The agreement will see Interserve continue to provide a wide range of services, including building maintenance, catering, cleaning, waste and utilities management, at over 450 sites across the north and southwest of England, the Midlands and Wales.

In a separate contract, the company will run six employment workshops at the £212m HMP Berwyn, a large prison under construction on the outskirts of Wrexham.

Brian Talbot, managing director for central government and defence at Interserve, said: "This particular opportunity to extend our facilities management services affords us the opportunity to continue make a real difference in helping the MoJ reduce reoffending and deliver more efficiently."
