Artic Building Services has won a hard FM contract with the renowned Roundhouse Theatre in the heart of London’s vibrant Camden Town.
The engineering services company was successful in securing all three categories of the tender covering building services, mechanical, electrical & water hygiene.
The Roundhouse is a transformative hub of creativity where artists and emerging talents create extraordinary work, and young people grow creatively. As one of the world’s most incredible live performance spaces, housed in a historic Grade II* listed former railway engine repair shed, the Roundhouse has welcomed legendary artists from around the world for 50 years.
Under the terms of the deal, Artic is assigning a team of engineers to visit the site weekly. These multi skilled engineers will provide support across all aspects of the contract, ensuring they have a deeper understanding of the complex requirements of the site.
To meet the contract’s requirements efficiently, Artic has appointed a dedicated Contract Manager and Contract Administrator team to oversee the Roundhouse. They will leverage Artic’s advanced CAFM platform to offer quick and seamless job allocations, worksheets, and reports. The platform provides extensive data export capabilities, which report contract performance against a mutually agreed Key Performance Indicator Framework.
The Roundhouse Theatre’s facilities team will also have access to Artic’s 24/7/365 Helpdesk service.
Commenting on the new contract award, Leigh Robinson, Artic’s Contract Manager for the Roundhouse said: “We are delighted to be working with such a prestigious venue and look forward to building a long-lasting partnership with the Roundhouse Theatre. Our experienced engineers understand the complex needs of the site and are fully equipped to provide exceptional support.”
Are you confident that your contractors and suppliers meet ethical labour standards and human rights obligations?
For many FM services, managing multiple third parties in the supply chain can be a complex challenge. And, in a sector that relies heavily on migrant workers and 65 per cent of FM services facing difficulties in sourcing workers (Q4 2022 RICS survey), exposure to exploitation and modern slavery is a very real risk. With the UK one of the biggest destinations in Europe for trafficking of workers, you need full visibility of the people you work with, so you can minimise your risks and identify which part of your supply chain is most vulnerable.
FMJ, in partnership with Alcumus, is pleased to bring together a panel of experts to discuss how to create an ethical supply chain in FM.
Taking place at 11am on Wednesday 21st of June, the webinar will discuss:
- The regulations to be aware of that are aimed at preventing human right abuses.
- How to gain greater visibility of modern slavery compliance in the supply chain by having a robust verification process in place.
- Steps to creating a compliant, ethical supply chain.
