VINCI Facilities has scooped a Facilities Management contract for University College London (UCL) new campus on London's East Bank.
The £4 million per annum award for hard services (5 years) and soft services (3 years) is the latest service contract in the education sector for VINCI Facilities.
The UCL East campus is on two sites: One Pool Street at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which is a 22,000 sq. m, 552 bed student accommodation and innovation centre being built by VINCI Building and One Marshgate, a 34,000 sq. m academic space opening in 2023.
VINCI Facilities will deliver an integrated FM service geared at reflecting the UCL vision of collaboration, inclusivity and diversity. Services include planned and reactive maintenance, cleaning, reception, 24/7 365 security and helpdesk. The team is already working in partnership with the client and construction teams, taking a soft landings approach for mobilising the two new builds. All of the services will be backed by dynamic digital solutions and a strong commitment to delivering social value.
Tony Raikes, managing director of VINCI Facilities said: "This five-year contract with UCL is not only a reflection of our reputation in education, but also our ongoing relationship with UCL. The new campus is a chance to be right at the beginning of a project and it's exciting to put into action soft landings. We have to directly recruit almost 100 people as we embark on a roadmap to deliver social value, diversity and sustainability objectives in collaboration with the UCL team."
