ISS has entered into a new partnership with the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
The five-year contract, with an option to extend for two additional years, has an annual value of approximately DKK 300 million (£35.4 million), and will commence in Q2 2026.
Under the terms of the deal, ISS will deliver a comprehensive range of integrated services and capital projects across the FCDO’s UK offices. These include daily services such as cleaning, catering, reception, and grounds maintenance, while ISS will also support larger projects – from technical equipment upgrades, to office refurbishments and roof replacements.
Scott Davies, Country Manager of ISS United Kingdom & Ireland, said: “We are immensely excited and proud to enter this partnership with the FCDO. With our strong UK public sector expertise and people-centric approach, we will work as ‘one team’ with the FCDO to deliver high-quality services and exceptional workplace experiences that enhance efficiency and wellbeing. It is a true privilege for ISS to support such a vital government department in its daily mission to lead diplomatic, development, and consular work in the UK and across the globe.”
The way we work has changed – yet, many organisations are still relying on rigid, one-size-fits-all tools to manage desks and meeting rooms, according to a new study from workplace management solutions provider, Matrix Booking.
Spreadsheets, calendars, and generic booking software may have worked once, but they’re struggling to keep pace with today’s flexible, hybrid workforce. The result? Wasted time, frustrated employees, and expensive underutilised space.
Matrix Booking’s new study, ‘One-size-fits-all booking systems don’t work for today’s workforce’, explores why current systems are falling short – and how organisations can reimagine workspace management to boost efficiency, employee experience, and cost savings.
