The central government and defence team at Mitie<\/a> has secured a new \u00a329m life systems contract with the Department for Work and Pensions<\/a> (DWP)<\/h2>\n

Mitie landed the DWP life systems contract \u2013 worth \u00a329m over 19 months \u2013 through a competitive tender<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At DWP’s 900 sites across the UK, including job centres and offices, Mitie will be responsible for ensuring essential assets including water, fire, lift, and electrical systems are working efficiently through a programme of planned and remedial maintenance.<\/p>\n

Mitie will also carry out Statutory Asset Compliance checks to ensure that all of DWP’s equipment meets legal requirements and is working safely.<\/p>\n

As part of its\u00a0Plan Zero\u00a0commitment, Mitie is helping its customers reach net zero carbon<\/a> emissions and so sustainability will be central to the delivery of this contract. The company will begin rolling out electric vehicles (EVs) to its colleagues to help cut emissions.<\/p>\n

The team will also review equipment to identify any opportunities to reduce energy use and save carbon emissions by adjusting the settings of equipment or upgrading to more energy efficient systems.<\/p>\n

These new services are in addition to Mitie\u2019s existing contract to provide cleaning, maintenance, and engineering services for DWP at the same sites.<\/p>\n

\u2018Keeping sites running smoothly\u2019<\/h3>\n

Brian Talbot, managing director for central government and defence at Mitie, said: \u201cWe are proud to announce the expansion of our relationship with the Department for Work and Pensions to provide our expertise maintaining critical assets.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom establishing the use of electric vehicles through to making sure all equipment is running safely and efficiently, we will be helping to ensure the UK\u2019s largest public sector department keeps its sites running smoothly, while also cutting its carbon emissions<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
