Carillion Services and Bateman Healthcare have been awarded
a two year extension to the original six year FM contract with the Southern
Derbyshire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. The non-clinical services contract
is valued at an annual £6m.
John Evison, Carillion’s general manager of the facilities contract,
said the performance improvement and innovation had always been as important
as financial considerations and that the partners have supported many
groundbreaking developments.
Carillion says it has improved the integration of management, catering
and portering and made the management of estates and car parking more
efficient as well as the overall training.
Continued improvements planned by the joint venture include a further
boost to training, restaurant refurbishment, CCTV security improvements,
new methods of waste and energy management and improved management systems
for residential accommodation.
“Clearly, in extending the contract, we are confident that all round
improvements will continue. This type of partnership between hospital
trusts and the private sector points the way to further developments in
healthcare services nationwide,” added Evison.
