SitexOrbis signs up £6 million of work
SitexOrbis reports strong business gains in the UK in the last six months.
The 24/7 property and people protection leader won an estimated £6 million worth of contracts in the period for future work. Of this, retaining contracts accounted for £4 million and winning new business for £2 million.
According to SitexOrbis European Director Mark Cosh, the wins show the move in to wider property services, while continuing to
offer empty property management, is working.
Contracts for deep and clinical cleaning awarded by the NHS featured innovative infection control. The process vaporises a disinfectant in to the air that kills up to 99.9999% of known germs quickly with minimum disruption. Indications are that similar work will follow after favourable comments from customers responsible for bloodmobiles used by donors and a new hospital.
Out-of-hours call handling for social housing providers and their tenants added three new contracts for the company’s newly relocated response centre, a resource manned 24/7 by operators and accredited to BS5979 category II.
Other new business was awarded for vacant property protection, clearing and cleaning for councils, housing groups and a leading supermarket. In addition, two police forces that are among the largest in the UK have awarded contracts for emergency response to board up properties, secure crime scenes and to decontaminate properties, vehicles and equipment.
Retaining the LHC framework agreement in the period, which is estimated to bring in £4 million or even more if the contract is extended from two to four years, has already led to contracts worth almost £2 million. The V5 framework is for public sector organisations. It covers property security, cleaning, mould eradication and estate management. The latter includes garden tidies, graffiti removal, exterior property cleaning, mobile patrols, inspections and key holding. Security includes eMAKS access management, which has won SitexOrbis three product and innovation awards this year for an electronic key that can be programmed remotely via the company to open up to 6,000 locks, thereby ending costly energy consuming key collections.
Mr Cosh said: "Independent surveys have shown that our customers are happy and are looking for new ways of doing things and doing more for less. We aim to keep them happy and exceed their wishes through innovation. This has helped to retain customers and to win a diversity of new business, some of which has come from competitors."
