Johnson Controls has completed a global preferred supplier agreement with BP for the delivery of integrated facility management services.
Financial terms of the new five year deal, which expands the current relationship, have not been disclosed. This agreement adds 280,000 sq m (3m sq ft), including locations in Illinois, Houston and corporate headquarters in London, to the portfolio of BP sites supported by Johnson Controls, bringing the worldwide total to 576,000 sq m (6.2m sq ft).
Under the agreement, Johnson Controls will improve processes and standardise service delivery while maintaining tailored support characteristics for each BP site. Johnson Controls says it is also committed to generating facility management savings, increasing management efficiencies and implementing processes for sharing best practices across the global portfolio.
"Our goal is to provide strategic facilities support to BP so that they may focus on their core businesses. It has been rewarding to contribute to the success of BP throughout our seven-year relationship in Europe and we are pleased to expand the scope of our alliance with BP," said Roy Cloudsdale, Vice President of Global Marketing and Business Development.
BP's International Relationship Manager for Facilities Management Chris Wood commented: "This preferred supplier agreement builds on the successful relationship that has been established over the past few years in Europe, where Johnson Controls has become one of the leading suppliers of integrated facility management to BP. "We look forward to this relationship growing, wherever business value can be demonstrated."
