Citex has been awarded a contract to provide consultancy services under a framework contract for The Court Service in England and Wales over a three to five year period.

The contract, which started last month, will see Citex providing a range of technical, financial and FM consultancy, primarily in relation to PFI and Private Developer Schemes.

Citex currently provides PFI advisory services to the Northern Ireland Courts Service including the successful Belfast Courts Complex procured through the PFI process.

Meanwhile, Stewart Rix has been appointed Managing Director of Citex Consulting. He will be responsible for the development of Citex’s existing consulting team, comprising the recruitment of new people and the addition of services through acquisition.

Prior to his appointment, Stewart held a consultative role working within Railtrack where he advised on the use of alliancing and collaborative working methods.

Stewart Rix commenting on his appointment, said that the distinction between Citex and leading management consultancies was the company's ability to also deliver. "I look forward to the challenge of this new position, working to develop relationships with key decision makers inside top organisations within both the public and private sectors," he added.
