Atalian Servest has been awarded a five-year deal with the University of East Anglia (UEA) to provide total facilities management (TFM) services.
The contract includes mechanical, electrical, plumbing, building fabric, cleaning and associated services, helpdesk, and associated compliance services, which will be carried out across the UEA main campus as well as the Edith Cavell and Bob Champion research buildings located at the university’s West Campus, and the Quadram Institute located at Norwich Research Park. All sites are located in Norwich.
Atalian Servest was awarded this contract, due to the service provider’s proven track record in directly delivering and managing technically demanding facilities management services in similar educational organisations. Services will be underpinned by technology to enhance resilience and drive efficiencies.
Stephen Wells, Director of Estates & Facilities at UEA said: “We were looking for a provider that could deliver a holistic approach to service delivery and a forward-thinking vision to implement improvements and drive efficiencies via the use of technology. A true partnership approach was also important to us. We are pleased Atalian Servest could demonstrate all of these qualities and we look forward to working with them.”
Daniel Dickson, CEO Atalian Servest UK & Ireland added: “We are proud to be working with such a prestigious university as it looks to enhance its facilities services. Our innovative approach, use of environment-based, cutting-edge technologies, combined with our heritage in the education sector and the UEA’s vision of continuous improvement, makes us the ideal partnership to take the university’s FM to the next level.”
The contract has the provision for two 12 month extensions.
FMJ in conjunction with Grundon Waste Management have launched the 2022 survey into how FMs approach their waste management and recycling responsibilities.
It’s the fifth year for the annual appraisal, and as we return to normal, there is a real opportunity for FMs to reappraise their waste and recycling operations and look at new, smarter waste management strategies.
In order to understand how FMs have navigated their way through the last year and their plans for meeting stringent waste and recycling targets we’ve posed a series of questions which include insights into FMs’ waste management strategy and targets, such as zero waste and landfill, the types of waste organisations produce and what helps FMs promote waste management in their organisations?
Please share your experiences and opinions on waste management. The survey will take just five minutes to complete, and as a thank you for taking part, respondents will be entered into a prize draw to win a £150 Amazon gift card.
