Following competitive tenders, mechanical, electrical and public health (MEP) service provider, G&H, has been awarded three maintenance contracts across the education and property management sectors.
Leeds-headquartered G&H has been appointed to deliver planned and preventative maintenance for Pudsey Sixth Form College, MCR Property Group, and Evans Property Group.
At Pudsey Sixth Form College, G&H will deliver a three-year maintenance programme to ensure the building remains operational, efficient and fully compliant for its further education students. The contract award follows G&H’s successful delivery of a MEP design and build package in partnership with Caddicks Construction during the building of the college, which was completed ahead of the 2025/26 academic year.
In addition, G&H has also been appointed to provide a three-year MEP maintenance programme for MCR Property Group’s Windsor House in Harrogate. The 117,000 sq ft office building built in 1903 provides 130 office suites and amenities.
Meanwhile, Evans Property Group has chosen G&H to deliver ongoing maintenance services at its Leeds headquarters under an annual rolling contract.
For each client, a dedicated G&H maintenance team will implement a planned and preventative strategy, carrying out regular inspections and servicing of plants, fire alarms, lighting, power generation, and heating and cooling systems to reduce breakdowns, minimise callouts and ensure full regulatory compliance.
David Ridsdale, Director at G&H said: “We’re looking forward to working with Pudsey Sixth Form College, MCR Property Group and Evans Property Group. Being appointed by Pudsey Sixth Form College after delivering an extensive MEP package during the construction phase demonstrates the strength of our integrated, end-to-end offering.”
According to the 2026 UK Facilities Management Market Research Report by askporter, facilities management professionals want clear, verifiable evidence of work being delivered, with teams that can communicate progress in real time. This requires technology that is affordable, intuitive, and quick to adopt.
Yet the report found that:
Over three quarters of FM professionals (76 per cent) experience operational inefficiencies caused by siloed software which results in a lack of real-time visibility.
Communications challenges lead to maintenance issues, with 73 per cent of teams being forced into reactive problem-solving on a weekly basis.
A worrying level of compliance gaps, with 44 per cent of admitting that half or less of their compliance tasks are tracked and automated within their systems.
Closing this gap requires the establishment of transparent and consistent communications using affordable software that gives FM teams the ability to track, evidence and improve their services.
This webinar provides a valuable overview of the main findings of the report by askporter followed by a panel discussion by FM thought leaders on practical, strategic solutions that can help close this communications gap.
