Mitie has won a new contract with AstraZeneca at its Macclesfield campus in Cheshire, a major UK biopharmaceutical manufacturing, research and technology site.
The contract award, valued at £26 million, will see Mitie deliver a range of engineering and energy services, including mechanical and electrical maintenance, reactive engineering support and energy management and optimisation, helping to maintain equipment reliability and support the day‑to‑day operation of the site.
As part of the contract, Mitie will provide clear and consistent visibility of energy use and associated carbon emissions across the Macclesfield site. Using data captured through Mitie’s Orbit platform, its energy management and analytics system, energy performance will be continuously monitored to inform practical improvements to how the site is run.
Alongside this, Mitie will invest in training, mentoring and skills pathways, welcoming a number of new apprentices, and committing more than 1,300 hours of volunteering each year. These initiatives will support community, education and environmental projects delivered in collaboration with AstraZeneca.
Sam White, Managing Director, Technical Services, Mitie, said: “We’re proud to bring our engineering expertise and energy insight to deliver services for AstraZeneca that support operational reliability and sustainability, both now and into the future.
“By investing in skills, apprenticeships and community initiatives, this partnership will support a resilient, future‑ready workforce at the Macclesfield campus.”
