The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has awarded a total facilities management contract to the Salisbury Group.
The £8m+ deal is for a minimum of five years, and is the result of a robust and rigorous procurement process via the Crown Commercial Services RM3830 framework.
The CAA is the UK's specialist aviation regulator and manages licenses, safety and standards for the industry. It protects passengers and the public, most recently leading on the repatriation of thousands of holidaymakers following the collapse of Thomas Cook.
Salisbury Group will provide integrated services including office services, engineering maintenance, manned guarding, cleaning, landscaping and other related FM services. It will do so at all CAA premises, including the head office near Gatwick Airport as well as offices in Crawley, London, Manchester and Stirling.
Salisbury’s Group Managing Director, Andrew Lunt, said: “Winning this contract with the CAA is a significant endorsement of the value we can bring to clients, and we are very pleased to be working with such an important organisation.”
Peter Hammond, the CAA’s Head of Estate Services, added: “I am really pleased that we have appointed Salisbury Group as our facilities management supplier. This is the culmination of a 10-year property rationalisation for the CAA and follows the ‘right sizing' of our FM service. Salisbury was appointed following a thorough and detailed tendering exercise.”
