FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Robertson Facilities Management (RFM) has secured a five-year contract, valued at £5 million to deliver hard facilities management services for the National Galleries of Scotland.
The contract, which was awarded following a competitive tender process, goes live on the 1 December following a robust mobilisation and RFM will take on facilities management across eight sites. These include the National Galleries of Scotland’s National, Portrait, Modern One and Modern Two, as well as the Royal Scottish Academy and associated storage facilities around Edinburgh.
Together, these venues house one of Scotland’s most significant art and heritage collections, with approximately 120,000 works of art spanning from Botticelli and Titian to the very best modern art and the world’s greatest collection of Scottish artists. In the last year, the National Galleries of Scotland sites attracted more than 2.4 million people.
The scope of services cover planned and reactive building maintenance as well as mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) works.
Adrian Mole, Executive Managing Director, Robertson Facilities Management, said: “Our experience in managing complex estates allows us to provide a high standard of service for our partners. Working with the National Galleries of Scotland provides us the opportunity to support one of the country’s most important cultural institutions while strengthening our portfolio.
“We look forward to developing a strong and collaborative partnership that helps the Galleries continue sharing Scotland’s art and heritage with millions of visitors each year.”
A spokesperson for National Galleries of Scotland said: “The contract was awarded to RFM and will be for an initial period of five years. We look forward to our partnership.”
The award strengthens the growing portfolio RFM has in the public sector and supports its strategy to expand operations in Edinburgh. Earlier this year the business was appointed to deliver a five-year contract for National Records of Scotland in the capital, and is midway through a five-year contract supporting the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service across the country.
Facilities & Estates Management Live will open its doors on 7th and 8th October at the Business Design Centre in London.
